Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout Strategies in Utah from Local Health Departments’ Perspectives
Introduction: Local health departments (LHDs) play an essential role in providing COVID-19 vaccines to underserved populations in Utah. This study aimed to understand barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake for these populations and challenges faced by LHDs from LHDs' perspectives. In addition, we explored LHDs' experience with implementing COVID-19 mobile vaccine clinics (MVCs) in Utah. Materials and Methods: We conducted virtual focus group discuss…
Combining Machine Learning and Comparative Effectiveness Methodology to Study Primary Care Pharmacotherapy Pathways for Veterans With Depression
OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate an innovative method combining machine learning with comparative effectiveness research techniques and to investigate a hitherto unstudied question about the effectiveness of common prescribing patterns. DATA SOURCES: United States Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse. STUDY DESIGN: For Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans with major depressive disorder, we generate pharmacother…
Disparities in Covid-19 related outcomes in the United States by race and ethnicity pre-vaccination era
Background: Meta-analyses have investigated associations between race and ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes. However, there is uncertainty about these associations' existence, magnitude, and level of evidence. We, therefore, aimed to synthesize, quantify, and grade the strength of evidence of race and ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes in the US. Methods: In this umbrella review, we searched four databases (Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Database of Sys…
In Data We Trust? Comparison of Electronic Versus Manual Abstraction of Antimicrobial Prescribing Quality Metrics for Hospitalized Veterans With Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: Electronic health records provide the opportunity to assess system-wide quality measures. Veterans Affairs Pharmacy Benefits Management Center for Medication Safety uses medication use evaluation (MUE) through manual review of the electronic health records. OBJECTIVE: To compare an electronic MUE approach versus human/manual review for extraction of antibiotic use (choice and duration) and severity metrics. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospect…
Reducing Time-dependent Bias in Estimates of the Attributable Cost of Health Care–associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infections
BACKGROUND: Previous estimates of the excess costs due to health care-associated infection (HAI) have scarcely addressed the issue of time-dependent bias. OBJECTIVE: We examined time-dependent bias by estimating the health care costs attributable to an HAI due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) using a unique dataset in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that makes it possible to distinguish between costs that occurred bef…
