  • The effect of hip fracture on mortality, hospitalization, and functional status

    Fredric D Wolinsky, JOHN F FITZGERALD et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1997Cited by: 12References: 19

    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the independent effect of hip fracture on mortalìty, hospitalization, and functional status. METHODS: Among 7527 members of the Longitudinal Study of Aging who were over age 70 at baseline, 368 persons with hip fracture occurring between 1984 and 1991 were identified. Median length of follow-up was 831 days. RESULTS: Hip fracture was significantly related to mortality (adjusted haz…

  • Predicting Inpatient Costs With Admitting Clinical Data

    William M Tierney, JOHN F FITZGERALD et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Hospital cost-containment programs should themselves be cost-effective, targeting high-cost physicians (which requires adjusting for case mix) and patients (which requires early identification). In this study, clinical data available within 24 hours of admission from an electronic medical record system were used to develop statistical models to predict hospital costs. In this retrospective analysis of clinical data and diagnosis-related groups (D…

  • Subsequent hip fracture among older adults

    Fredric D Wolinsky, JOHN F FITZGERALDARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1994Cited by: 1References: 16

    Subsequent hip fracture among the 368 Longitudinal Study on Aging respondents who fractured their hips from 1984 through 1991 was prospectively examined. Case-by-case review of the billing records indicated that 27 subsequent hip fractures occurred, for a rate of 1 every 33.8 person-years. Multivariable proportional hazard regression revealed that increased risks of subsequent hip fracture were associated with poor perceived health status and diz…

  • Reliability and Validity of an Instrument to Measure Maternal Health Beliefs

    Ann S Bates, Ann Bates et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1994

    Noncompliance with recommended preventive pediatric care continues to be a major problem, especially in inner-city pediatric clinics. There has been little evaluation of the maternal beliefs that are associated with such noncompliance, perhaps because there are no instruments which have been assessed for reliability and validity. To evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of a maternal health belief instrument, we interviewed 500…

  • The Parent Health Belief Scales

    Ann S Bates, Ann Bates et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1994

    Health locus of control (HLC) has been used to operationalize general health motivation. This study was undertaken to evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of Tinsley and Holtgrave's Parent Health Belief Scales (PHBS) as a measure of maternal HLC toward their children's health. Five hundred mothers (71% of eligible consecutive admissions) of newborns admitted to the normal newborn nursery of a large municipal teaching hospital …
