Contemporary Patterns of End-of-Life Care Among Medicare Beneficiaries With Advanced Cancer
This study found persistent patterns of potentially aggressive care, but low uptake of supportive care, among Medicare decedents with advanced cancer. A multifaceted approach targeting patient-, physician-, and system-level factors associated with potentially aggressive care is imperative for improving quality of care at the end of life
Social determinant of health patterns and mortality outcomes in US adults
Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) influences healthcare access, especially in patients with chronic diseases. However, SDOHs were often investigated as single variables. Combination patterns and joint effects of multiple SDOHs are much understudied. This study seeks to identify SDOH patterns in the US general population and their influence in all-cause and specific mortality. This study included US adults aged 18 to 79 from 2002 to 2018 Nation…
Transportation barriers, emergency department use, and mortality risk among us adults
To estimate the prevalence of transportation barriers to care among patients with common chronic health conditions and examine associations between transportation barriers with the outcomes of emergency department use and all-cause mortality risk using a large, nationally representative cohort in the United States. We used weighted logistic and Cox regression to assess the association of transportation barriers, ED use and all-cause mortality, in…
Medicaid Expansion and US Mortality Rates During the Covid-19 Pandemic, 2018–2022
Objectives. To examine the association of state Medicaid expansion status with mortality changes during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Methods. Deaths among individuals 20 to 64 years of age in 3142 counties were identified from 2018 to 2022 mortality surveillance data. Age-adjusted mortality rates were calculated for each county and by cause of death. Changes in mortality rates before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (20…
Incarceration History and Access to and Receipt of Health Care in the US
The results of this survey study suggest that incarceration history was associated with worse access to and receipt of health care. Educational attainment and health insurance may contribute to these associations. Efforts to improve access to education and health insurance coverage for people with an incarceration history might mitigate disparities in care
Enhancing Cancer Economic Data Resources
BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnosis and treatment can substantially affect health and financial outcomes for patients and families. Research in health care delivery across the cancer control continuum includes diverse activities led by multiple government and private sector organizations. Assessing the economic drivers and influencing factors associated with costs across this continuum is challenging as organizations leading research efforts often do no…
Advancing Data Capacity for Economic Outcomes in Patient-Centered Outcomes Research
The economic impacts of health care treatments and services on individuals and their families are central to many decisions people make about the use of health care. However, without the high-quality data needed to generate evidence on the clinical effectiveness and economic impacts of an intervention, decision-makers are generally limited in their ability to make informed health care decisions that reflect patient values and preferences. The imp…
Association of Health Insurance Coverage Disruptions With Mortality Risk Among US Working-Age Adults
This cohort study assesses associations of a prior coverage disruption with mortality risk among large, nationally representative cohorts of working-age adults with public or private health insurance coverage
Estimating life expectancy adjusted by self-rated health status in the United States
Considerable shortage in life expectancy due to poor self-rated health existed. The life table developed can be helpful by including a patient perspective on their health and be used in conjunction with other predictive models in clinical decision making, particularly for younger adults in poor health, for whom life tables including comorbid conditions are limited

Trends in the Treatment of Metastatic Colon and Rectal Cancer in Elderly Patients
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the use and costs of antineoplastic regimens for elderly patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We report population-based trends over a 10-year period in the treatment, survival, and costs in mCRC patients, stratified by ages 65-74 and 75+. METHODS: We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare data for persons diagnosed with metastatic colon (N=16117) or rectal cancer (N=4008) between…
Sensitivity of Medicare Claims to Identify Cancer Recurrence in Elderly Colorectal and Breast Cancer Patients
BACKGROUND: Researchers are increasingly interested in using observational data to evaluate cancer outcomes following treatment, including cancer recurrence and disease-free survival. Because population-based cancer registries do not collect recurrence data, recurrence is often imputed from health claims, primarily by identifying later cancer treatments after initial treatment. The validity of this approach has not been established. RESEARCH DESI…
Annual Patient Time Costs Associated With Medical Care Among Cancer Survivors in the United States
BACKGROUND: Although patient time costs are recommended for inclusion in cost-effectiveness analyses, these data are not routinely collected. We used nationally representative data and a medical service-based approach to estimate the annual patient time costs among cancer survivors. METHODS: We identified adult 6699 cancer survivors and 86,412 individuals without a cancer history ages 18 years or more from 2008-2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Surv…
Projections of the Cost of Cancer Care in the United States
BACKGROUND: Current estimates of the costs of cancer care in the United States are based on data from 2003 and earlier. However, incidence, survival, and practice patterns have been changing for the majority of cancers. METHODS: Cancer prevalence was estimated and projected by phase of care (initial year following diagnosis, continuing, and last year of life) and tumor site for 13 cancers in men and 16 cancers in women through 2020. Cancer preval…
Too Much of a Good Thing? Physician Practices and Patient Willingness for Less Frequent Pap Test Screening Intervals
BACKGROUND: Recent guidelines recommend longer Pap test intervals. However, physicians and patients may not be adopting these recommendations. OBJECTIVES: Identify (1) physician and practice characteristics associated with recommending a less frequent interval, and (2) characteristics associated with women's willingness to adhere to a 3-year interval. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used 2 national surveys: (1) a 2006/2007 National Survey of Primary Care Phy…
Comparison of Approaches for Estimating Prevalence Costs of Care for Cancer Patients
BACKGROUND: National prevalence costs of medical care can be key inputs in health policy decisions. Cost estimates vary across data sources, patient populations, and methods, however, the objective of this study was to compare 3 approaches for estimating the prevalence costs of colorectal cancer (CRC) care using different data sources, but similar patient populations and methods. METHODS: We identified prevalent CRC patients aged 65 and older fro…

BACKGROUND: Estimates of the costs of medical care vary across patient populations, data sources, and methods. The objective of this study was to compare 3 approaches for estimating the incidence costs of colorectal cancer (CRC) care using similar patient populations, but different data sources and methods. METHODS: We used 2 data sources, linked SEER-Medicare and Medicare claims alone, to identify newly diagnosed CRC patients aged 65 and older a…
Health Limitations and Quality of Life Associated With Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases by Phase of Care
OBJECTIVE: To estimate health limitations and health-related quality of life (HRQL) associated with cancer and other chronic conditions in a nationally representative sample within a phase-of-care framework. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We used a nested case-control design to assess health limitations and HRQL in individuals reporting a breast, colorectal, prostate, or lung cancer diagnosis, or a diagnosis of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, or h…
Mortality
Context: Despite advances in early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, women living in rural areas, and particularly in Appalachia, the rural South, the Texas/Mexico border, and the central valley of California, have had consistently higher rates of cervical cancer mortality than their counterparts in other areas during the past several decades. Methods: This paper reviews the published literature from 1966 to July 2002 to assess three p…
Estimating Patient Time Costs Associated With Colorectal Cancer Care
BACKGROUND: Nonmedical costs of care, such as patient time associated with travel to, waiting for, and seeking medical care, are rarely measured systematically with population-based data. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to estimate patient time costs associated with colorectal cancer care. METHODS: We identified categories of key medical services for colorectal cancer care and then estimated patient time associated with each service cat…
