Impact of Pre-Diagnosed Depressive Symptoms on Treatment Choice, Delay in Initiating Treatment, and Mortality Among Women Aged ≥65 Years with Breast Cancer
Studies that have sought to describe and account for pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms on BC treatment choice, delay in initiating treatment, and mortality have been inconsistent. The purpose of the study is to examine the association between pre-diagnosed depressive symptoms and their impact on breast cancer (BC) treatment, treatment delays, and mortality. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Re…
Associations of Content and Context of Communication with Prostate-Specific Antigen Testing
There is limited research about the content and context of communication on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing among men in the state of Florida. The purpose of this study is to understand how the content communication (discussion of advantages and disadvantages of PSA testing between provider and patient; provider recommendations of PSA testing) and the context of communication (continuity of care denoted by the presence of a personal docto…
Racial Differences in Length of Stay for Patients Who Leave Against Medical Advice from U.S. General Hospitals
There is a paucity of published literature on the length of hospital stays (LOS) for patients who leave against medical advice (AMA) and on the factors that predict their LOS. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between race and the LOS for AMA patients after adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics. National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) data were used to describe LOS for AMA patients aged 18 years or older. Pati…
Differences in Colorectal Cancer Outcomes by Race and Insurance
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer among African American women and the third most common cancer for African American men. The mortality rate from CRC is highest among African Americans compared to any other racial or ethnic group. Much of the disparity in mortality is likely due to diagnosis at later stages of the disease, which could result from unequal access to screening. The purpose of this study is to determine the imp…
