Access to Cancer Services for Rural Colorectal Cancer Patients
Context: Cancer care requires specialty surgical and medical resources that are less likely to be found in rural areas. Purpose: To examine the travel patterns and distances of rural and urban colorectal cancer (CRC) patients to 3 types of specialty cancer care services—surgery, medical oncology consultation, and radiation oncology consultation. Methods: Descriptive cross‐sectional study using linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (S…
Differences Among the Elderly in the Treatment Costs of Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND: Medical expenditures adjusted for price differences are a barometer of total resources devoted to patient care and thus may reflect treatment differentials. OBJECTIVE: We sought to estimate costs of the surgical and adjuvant treatment phases of colorectal cancer (CRC) care and cost differences by race (African American-white) and other patient characteristics. METHODS: We used the linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SE…
In Search of the Perfect Comorbidity Measure for Use With Administrative Claims Data
BACKGROUND: Numerous measures of comorbidity have been developed for health services research with administrative claims. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the performance of 4 claims-based comorbidity measures. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: We undertook a retrospective cohort study of 5777 Medicare beneficiaries ages 66 and older with stage III colon cancer reported to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program between January 1, 1992…

During 1986 these Medicare beneficiaries were admitted to one of 53 hospitals in an area that encompassed parts of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Information on ZIP code of residence, closest hospital, and hospital of admission were used to analyze hospital choices of the…
