The PROMIS network aims to develop of a comprehensive item bank for Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) of chronic diseases. In this paper we describe the item review process for building the item bank. Methods: An essential step for the development of an item pool is the identification and evaluation of extant questionnaires and items and the development of new items for a core item pool. Four phases of item review will be completed: item acquisitio…
Epidemiology of bacterial meningitis among children in Brazil, 1997-1998
OBJECTIVE: To document the incidence and the descriptive epidemiology of bacterial meningitis among individuals under age 20 in a geographically defined region in Brazil during the two-year period immediately preceding the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccines into the national immunization program of Brazil. METHODS: Population-based epidemiological study of all cases of bacterial meningitis reported among residents of Cam…
Effect of Vaccination by Community Pharmacists Among Adult Prescription Recipients
BACKGROUND: Millions of doses of influenza vaccine are administered each year in the United States at nontraditional sites and by nontraditional vaccine providers. Pharmacists are increasingly becoming vaccine providers. OBJECTIVES: To measure association between availability of pharmacist-immunizers and immunization delivery to adult prescription recipients, and the relative contributions of various types of vaccine providers. RESEARCH DESIGN: M…
Reoperation and Mortality After Surgical Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy in a Large Prepaid Medical Care Program
The incidence of reoperation and mortality after prostatectomy was studied in 8,219 men who underwent surgical treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy between 1976 and 1987 while they were members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, Northern California Region. The vast majority (94.5%) received transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). The cumulative 8-year probability of a second prostatectomy was 7.6% after TURP and 2.1% after open pros…
Community Pharmacists as Immunization Advocates
To assess the cost-effectiveness of a cue to influenza vaccination provided by community pharmacists, a decision tree was constructed of the consequences of implementing a pharmacy-based vaccine-advocacy program, based on experience gained in an experiment involving three community pharmacies in Durham County, North Carolina. The model used morbidity and mortality assumptions derived from the infectious-disease literature and cost assumptions bas…
