The Pen and the Scalpel
Background: As information is disseminated about best practices, variations in patterns of care should diminish over time. Objective: To test the hypotheses that differences in rates of a surgical procedure are associated with type of insurance in an era of evolving practice guidelines and that insurance and site differences diminish with time as consensus guidelines disseminate among the medical community. Methods: We use lymph node dissection a…
Race and Sex Differences in the Receipt of Timely and Appropriate Lung Cancer Treatment
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that disparities in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival can be explained in part by disparities in the receipt of cancer treatment. Few studies, however, have considered race and sex disparities in the timing and appropriateness of treatment across stages of diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of sex and race with the receipt of timely and clinically appropriate NSCLC treatment for eac…
An Exploration of Urban and Rural Differences in Lung Cancer Survival Among Medicare Beneficiaries
Objectives. We tested the relationship between urban or rural residence as defined by rural–urban commuting area codes and risk of mortality in a sample of Medicare beneficiaries with lung cancer. Methods. We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data linked with Medicare claims to build proportional hazards models. The models tested hypothesized relationships between individual and community characteristics and overall survival for a …
