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…
Supporting Caregivers of Rural Veterans Electronically (SCORE)
BACKGROUND: The increasing prevalence of dementia, including among rural veterans, highlights the improved outcomes possible for caregivers who receive effective support. However, providing these complex interventions in rural areas presents challenges. Internet-based and telephone-based caregiver support can potentially expand access to effective support. METHODS: We designed a multisite intervention for caregivers of veterans with dementia. Car…
Developing Indicators of Inpatient Adverse Drug Events Through Nonlinear Analysis Using Administrative Data
BACKGROUND: Because of uniform availability, hospital administrative data are appealing for surveillance of adverse drug events (ADEs). Expert-generated surveillance rules that rely on the presence of International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes have limited accuracy. Rules based on nonlinear associations among all types of available administrative data may be more accurate. OBJECTIVES: By applying…
Out-of-Pocket Pharmacy Expenditures for Veterans Under Medicare Part D
OBJECTIVES: Because the VA pharmacy benefit is deemed equivalent coverage to Medicare Part D, veterans can use either or both of these Federal benefits. We sought to determine how these programs' different benefit structures and low-income assistance thresholds would affect pharmacy out-of-pocket expenses for veterans. METHODS: We reviewed income and asset tests performed at the Salt Lake City VA in fiscal year 2005, and estimated the number of i…
