Medication Prescribing Practices for Older Prisoners in the Texas Prison System
Objectives. We sought to assess appropriateness of medication prescribing for older Texas prisoners. Methods. In this 12-month cross-sectional study of 13 117 prisoners (aged ≥ 55 years), we assessed medication use with Zhan criteria and compared our results to prior studies of community prescribing. We assessed use of indicated medications with 6 Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders indicators. Results. Inappropriate medications were prescribed t…
Chronic Conditions and Mortality Among the Oldest Old
Objectives. We sought to determine whether chronic conditions and functional limitations are equally predictive of mortality among older adults. Methods. Participants in the 1998 wave of the Health and Retirement Study (N=19430) were divided into groups by decades of age, and their vital status in 2004 was determined. We used multivariate Cox regression to determine the ability of chronic conditions and functional limitations to predict mortality…
Development and Validation of an Index to Predict Activity of Daily Living Dependence in Community-Dwelling Elders
BACKGROUND: Maintaining independence in daily functioning is an important health outcome in older adults. A key measure of functional independence in elders is the ability to do activities of daily living (ADL) without the assistance of another person. However, few prognostic indices have been developed that stratify elders into groups at variable risk for developing ADL dependence. OBJECTIVE: We sought to develop and validate a prognostic index …
Variation in Care for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer in a Private Practice and a Veterans Affairs Clinic
BACKGROUND: Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common malignancy. Multiple therapies prevent recurrence but vary widely in cost. The most common therapies are local destruction, excision, and Mohs surgery (histologically guided tumor removal). Clinical variables that may affect treatment choices can be identified, but little is known about how clinicians choose among therapies. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to learn if variations ex…
