Evaluation of the effectiveness of Washington State’s digital Covid-19 exposure notification system over one pandemic year
Introduction: Digital exposure notifications are a novel public health intervention used during the COVID-19 pandemic to alert users of possible COVID-19 exposure. We seek to quantify the effectiveness of Washington State's digital exposure notification system, WA Notify, as measured by the number of COVID-19 cases averted during a 1-year period. Methods: While maintaining individuals' privacy, WA Notify collected data that could be used to evalu…
Determination of Colonoscopy Indication From Administrative Claims Data
BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy outcomes, such as polyp detection or complication rates, may differ by procedure indication. OBJECTIVES: To develop methods to classify colonoscopy indications from administrative data, facilitating study of colonoscopy quality and outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: We linked 14,844 colonoscopy reports from the Clinical Outcomes Research Initiative, a national repository of endoscopic reports, to the corresponding Medicare Carrier…
Social factors, treatment, and survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the importance of socioeconomic status, race, and likelihood of receiving surgery in explaining mortality among patients with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Analyses focused on Black and White individuals 75 years of age and younger (n = 5189) diagnosed between 1980 and 1982 with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer in Detroit, San Francisco, and Seattle. The main outcome measure was months of survival …
Race, socioeconomic status and survival in three female cancers
Findings imply that SES and race affect cancer mortality risk independently of each other, and that the impact of SES and race may vary by malignancy. Survival disadvantages due to race-which may be more pronounced among women than men-should remain a continuing concern
