Racial disparities in poverty account for mortality differences in US medicare beneficiaries
Higher mortality in Blacks than Whites has been consistently reported in the US, but previous investigations have not accounted for poverty at the individual level. The health of its population is an important part of the capital of a nation. We examined the association between individual level poverty and disability and racial mortality differences in a 5% Medicare beneficiary random sample from 2004 to 2010. Cox regression models examined assoc…
Survival on Dialysis Among American Indians and Alaska Natives With Diabetes in the United States, 1995–2010
Objectives. We assessed survival in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) with end-stage renal disease attributed to diabetes who initiated hemodialysis between 1995 and 2009. Methods. Follow-up extended from the first date of dialysis in the United States Renal Data System until December 31, 2010, kidney transplantation, or death. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to compute survival on dialysis by age and race/ethnicity and Cox regression …
A New Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate
BACKGROUND: Equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are routinely used to assess kidney function. Current equations have limited precision and systematically underestimate measured GFR at higher values. OBJECTIVE: To develop a new estimating equation for GFR: the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis with separate pooled data sets for equation development and validati…
Effects of Race and Income on Mortality and Use of Services among Medicare Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: There are wide disparities between blacks and whites in the use of many Medicare services. We studied the effects of race and income on mortality and use of services. METHODS: We linked 1990 census data on median income according to ZIP Code with 1993 Medicare administrative data for 26.3 million beneficiaries 65 years of age or older (24.2 million whites and 2.1 million blacks). We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates and age- 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…
Medicare Beneficiaries
Rehospitalization following surgery is widely recognized as an important outcome measure. The purpose of this study was to identify rehospitalizations for adverse events following 8 procedures, using diagnosis and procedure codes contained in Medicare claims files. Adverse events were broadly defined as: 1) complications; 2) failure of the procedure to achieve its therapeutic goal; and 3) untoward events associated with the natural history of the…
End state renal disease among Native Americans, 1983-86
We used data reported to Medicare from 1983 through 1986 to determine the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among Native Americans and Whites in the United States. The 1,075 Native American cases represented an annual incidence, age-adjusted to the White population, of 269 per million, 2.8 times the rate for Whites. Fifty-six percent of Native American cases and 27 percent of the White cases were attributed to diabetes, indicating that …
