Reliability of Birth Certificate Data: A Multi-Hospital Comparison to Medical Records Information
Variations in Risk-Adjusted Cesarean Delivery Rates According to Race and Health Insurance
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between race and insurance and Cesarean delivery rates after adjusting for clinical risk factors that increase the likelihood of cesarean delivery. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study in 21 hospitals in northeast Ohio. SUBJECTS: 25,697 women without prior cesarean deliveries admitted for labor and delivery January 1993 through June 1995. METHODS: Demographic and clinical data were abstracted from patients' medi…
Associations Between the Use of Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders and Length of Stay in Patients With Stroke
OBJECTIVES: The study sought to describe the association between do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders and length of hospital stay (LOS), and how the association varies according to in-hospital mortality, timing of the DNR order, and admission severity of illness. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort analysis involving standardized review of patients' medical records. The study was performed at 30 acute care hospitals in a large metrop…
Variations in Standardized Hospital Mortality Rates for Six Common Medical Diagnoses: Implications for Profiling Hospital Quality
OBJECTIVES: The authors determined whether standardized hospital mortality rates varied for six common medical diagnoses. METHODS: The retrospective cohort study included 89,851 patients aged 18 years and older discharged from 30 hospitals in a large metropolitan area in 1991 to 1993 with a principal diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, stroke, obstructive lung disease, or gastrointestinal hemorrhage. For…
The Effectiveness of Early Endoscopy for Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage: A Community-Based Analysis
OBJECTIVES: The effectiveness of upper endoscopy in unselected patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage has not been well studied. This study was undertaken to identify factors associated with the performance of early endoscopy (ie, within 1 day of hospitalization) and, after adjusting for these factors, to determine associations between early endoscopy and in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and performance of surgery. METHODS: Subject…
