Hospice Care and Resource Utilization in Medicare Beneficiaries With Heart Failure
BACKGROUND: Although hospice use may be increasing among heart failure patients, its association with both cost and intensity of care in this population has not been well examined. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of hospice care with resource utilization among a national sample of Medicare beneficiaries with heart failure during the last 6 months of life. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the 5% sample of Medicare claims da…
Using Propensity Scores Subclassification to Estimate Effects of Longitudinal Treatments
BACKGROUND: When using observational data to compare the effectiveness of medications, it is essential to account parsimoniously for patients' longitudinal characteristics that lead to changes in treatments over time. OBJECTIVES: We developed a method of estimating effects of longitudinal treatments that uses subclassification on a longitudinal propensity score to compare outcomes between a new drug (exenatide) and established drugs (insulin and …
The Relationship of Provider Organizational Status and Erythropoietin Dosing in End Stage Renal Disease Patients
Controversy exists as to whether provider organizational characteristics such as profit status and setting are associated with the content of medical care or efficiency with which care is rendered. Following FDA approval of human recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) for use in clinical practice, Medicare approved coverage for beneficiaries in its end stage renal disease program and established a fixed payment per dose. Because cost of EPO administrat…
Accuracy of Medicare Claims Data for Estimation of Cancer Incidence and Resection Rates Among Elderly Americans
To explore the reliability of Medicare Part A claims data for clinical and health services research related to the care of patients with cancer, the authors compared estimates of the incidence of and resection rates for cancer of the breast, colon, and lung derived from analysis of Medicare Part A data versus data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Incidence rates of breast, colon, and…
