Leveraging real-world data for population health outcomes research
Inpatient stroke mortality remains high at 2–5% in the U.S. This retrospective cohort study evaluated all-cause mortality in ischemic stroke hospitalizations using real-world data from a mature health information exchange (HIE) over a 17-year period (2004–2020). We analyzed 88,397 unique inpatient encounters corresponding to 62,271 adult patients aged 45 and over. Ischemic stroke hospitalizations were identified using diagnostic codes. We modeled…
Rural‐Urban Differences in Inpatient Quality of Care in US Veterans With Ischemic Stroke
PURPOSE: Differences in stroke care quality for patients in rural and urban locations have been suggested, but whether differences exist across Veteran Administration Medical Centers (VAMCs) is unknown. This study examines whether rural-urban disparities exist in inpatient quality among veterans with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: In this retrospective study, inpatient stroke care quality was assessed in a national sample of veterans with acute …
The association between socioeconomic status and disability after stroke
In this cohort of stroke survivors, socioeconomic status was associated with disability following acute ischemic stroke. The results may have implications for public health and health service interventions targeting stroke survivors at risk of poor outcomes
With Scenes of Blood and Pain
This article takes aim at an image-based methamphetamine (meth) intervention programme in the United States, to reveal disparate images of meth users organized along a binary system of value, pitting the sexual vulnerabilities of young women against the violent predation of young men. We argue the programme structures a particular visuality or way of seeing the supposed ills of meth use that agitates white middle-class social anxieties, through a…
The Use and Misuse of Thrombolytic Therapy Within the Veterans Health Administration
BACKGROUND: Within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), approximately 6000 veterans are hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke annually. We examined the use and misuse of thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in a national sample of veterans who were admitted to a VHA Medical Center (VAMC) with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS: Medical record reviews were conducted on 5000 acute stroke patients who were admitted to a VA…
Depression and Other Mental Health Diagnoses After Stroke Increase Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Utilization Three Years Poststroke
OBJECTIVE: Poststroke depression (PSD) has been linked to negative outcomes, including mortality and decreased functioning. However, the effect of PSD and other mental health conditions on inpatient and outpatient healthcare utilization after stroke has not been examined. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between PSD and healthcare utilization after stroke. The secondary objective was to evaluate the relationshi…

Adoption Actions and Attitudes of Couples Seeking In Vitro Fertilization
This exploratory study examines the adoption actions and attitudes of 16 childless women, and the husbands of 14 of these women, who applied for or underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Ontario, Canada, between 1984 and 1987. Interview data reveal that IVF and adoption were sought concurrently by most of these couples and that wives were more in favor of adoption than were husbands. The author concludes that the continued importance of the bi…

The Classic Rape
Why do many rape victims not report to the police? This paper suggests that victims of the “classic” rape situation, involving violent attack by a stranger, are most likely to report to police because they see themselves as true crime victims. Women who are raped by men they know, at home or in social settings, are less likely to report because they question their role and responsibility in the attack. I look at the cases of 246 raped women who c…
