Aging and HIV Infection
Prescription of and Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Among Women with Aids
The Womenʼs Interagency HIV Study
The Women's Interagency HIV Study comprises the largest U.S. cohort to date of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive women (N = 2,058) with a comparison cohort of seronegative women (N = 568). The methodology, training, and quality assurance activities employed are described. The study population, enrolled between October 1994 and November 1995 through six clinical consortia throughout the United States (totaling 23 sites) represents a …
Using patient reports to assess hospital treatment of persons with Aids
Providing efficacious, compassionate, and efficient medical care to persons with HIV infection is one of the greatest challenges that will face US hospitals this decade. Unfortunately, there have been almost no studies of how organizational arrangements are related to the quality of care. We developed an interview protocol and conducted a pilot study to evaluate the instrument's ability to detect differences in selected interpersonal aspects of c…
The inpatient Aids unit
An AIDS unit model ("cluster beds") and a general inpatient placement model ("scatter beds") in a major teaching hospital were compared to determine whether they differed on several dimensions of care. After controlling for severity of illness, (the major predictor of admission to the AIDS unit), length of stay, charges, and inpatient mortality rates did not differ between the two settings. Equal proportions of White, Hispanic, male, and privatel…
Peer Review Using a Paired-Comparison Technique
A paired-comparison technique is used to enable surgical residents and attending surgeons to make peer judgments of each other. Comparative peer judgments were made in three areas: the ability of the surgeon to make a diagnosis and to decide on a plan of active medical care, the operating ability of the surgeon, and the postoperative care of the patient. This method of peer judgment ensures the confidentiality of those making the judgments, and t…
