Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Association Between Preeclampsia Risk Factors and Preeclampsia Among Women Residing in Hawaii
Distinguishing between primary and secondary racial identification in analyses of health disparities of a multiracial population in Hawaii
The analysis illustrates the importance of accounting for multiracial populations in health disparities research and demonstrates the ability of two approaches to identify multiracial health disparities in data sets with limited sample sizes. The 'primary and secondary race' approach might work particularly well for a multicultural population like Hawaii
Inpatient Hospitalization Costs
Considerable interest exists in health care costs for the growing Micronesian population in the United States (US) due to their significant health care needs, poor average socioeconomic status, and unique immigration status, which impacts their access to public health care coverage. Using Hawai'i statewide impatient data from 2010 to 2012 for Micronesians, whites, Japanese, and Native Hawaiians (N = 162,152 hospitalizations), we compared inpatien…
Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations for Congestive Heart Failure Among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Hawai‘i
Using Quantile Regression to Assess Disparities in Medication Adherence
Whereas the large sample size undoubtedly contributed to the statistical significance, the large magnitude of the disparities, particularly for Filipinos, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders, which suggests that these are meaningful differences that need to be addressed. The largest disparities were found at the lowest quantile suggests that they may be occurring among the most vulnerable populations with potentially poor access to care
The Relationship of Hospital Quality and Cost per Case in Hawaii
One of the leading questions of our time is whether high-quality care leads to lower health care costs. Using data from Hawaii hospitals, this paper addresses the relationship of overall cost per case to a composite measure of the quality of inpatient care and a 30-day readmission rate. We found that low-cost hospitals tend to have the highest quality but the worst readmission performance. Change in quality and change in cost were also negatively…
