Relation between income inequality and mortality
Objective: To assess the extent to which observed associations at population level between income inequality and mortality are statistical artefacts. Design: Indirect “what if” simulation by using observed risks of mortality at individual level as a function of income to construct hypothetical state level mortality specific for age and sex as if the statistical artefact argument were 100% correct. Setting: Data from the 1990 census for the 50 US …
Assessing Physicians?? Compliance With Guidelines for Papanicolaou Testing
In this study, population-based data were used to examine the appropriateness of Papanicolaou (Pap) testing from the perspective of the women being tested and their physicians. The approach used is unique in its assessment of overtesting and undertesting in the primary care setting. From the data base of the province of Manitoba's universal health insurance plan, 4-year health histories (1981 to 1984) were constructed for each woman from a random…
Do Nursing Homes Reduce Hospital Use
This study applies data from the Manitoba Longitudinal Study on Aging for two purposes.

When age, sex, and mortality rat…
