External Validation of Medicare Claims for Breast Cancer Chemotherapy Compared With Medical Chart Reviews
BACKGROUND: Although Medicare claims data have been increasingly used to examine the patterns and outcomes of cancer chemotherapy, their external validity has not been well studied. OBJECTIVES: We sought to validate Medicare claims for chemotherapy compared with medical chart reviews. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We completed medical chart reviews for 1228 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer at age 65 and older between 1993 and 1999 in New Mexic…
Evaluating cluster alarms
OBJECTIVES: This article presents a space-time scan statistic, useful for evaluating space-time cluster alarms, and illustrates the method on a recent brain cancer cluster alarms in Los Alamos, NM. METHODS: The space-time scan statistic accounts for the preselection bias and multiple testing inherent in a cluster alarm. Confounders and time trends can be adjusted for. RESULTS: The observed excess of brain cancer in Los Alamos was not statisticall…
Racial and Ethnic Patterns of Mortality in New Mexico
Data Sources for Cancer Statistics among American Indians/Alaska Natives
INTRODUCTION\nFew published data have addressed the descriptive epidemiology of cancer among various American Indian tribes nationwide, and risk factor information on a site-specific or tribal-specific basis is almost nonexistent in published reports. Nonetheless, with appropriately guided searches, a tenacious researcher of health care information can be directed to specific data sources on cancer among American Indians/Alaska Natives in various…
Mortality from infectious diseases among New Mexico's American Indians, Hispanic whites, and other whites, 1958-87
To examine ethnic differences in infectious disease-related mortality in New Mexico's American Indian, Hispanic White and other White populations, we analyzed vital records data from 1958 to 1987. We found that for most infectious causes, American Indians had the highest mortality rates, followed by Hispanics. The state's minority populations remain at increased risk for infectious disease mortality
Injury mortality in American Indian, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white children in new Mexico, 1958-1982
Respiratory disease mortality in New Mexico's American Indians and Hispanics
To determine the effect of ethnic group on respiratory disease occurrence, average annual sex, ethnic, and disease specific mortality rates for the period of 1969 to 1977 were calculated for New Mexico's American Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo populations. Incidence data were available for respiratory tract cancer. This study corroborates previous findings of reduced mortality from lung cancer in American Indians of both sexes and in Hispanic males.…
