Mitigating Clinical Algorithmic Discrimination
This Viewpoint discusses 5 critical issues that should be considered when developing and using clinical algorithms to minimize algorithmic discrimination
Hospital Performance Under Alternative Readmission Measures Incorporating Observation Stays
OBJECTIVE: To determine the extent to which counting observation stays changes hospital performance on 30-day readmission measures. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of inpatient admissions and observation stays among fee-for-service Medicare enrollees in 2017. We generated 3 specifications of 30-day risk-standardized readmissions measures: the hospital-wide readmission (HWR) measure utilized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service…

How Does Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Inform Health Care Decisions
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides a formal assessment of trade-offs involving benefits, harms, and costs inherent in alternative options. CEA has been increasingly used to inform public and private organizations' reimbursement decisions, benefit designs, and price negotiations worldwide. Despite the lack of centralized efforts to promote CEA in the United States, the demand for CEA is growing. This article briefly reviews the history of …
Associations of Common Depression Treatment Metrics With Patient-centered Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Various metrics predicated on Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores denote depression "response" or "remission" over time, but few have been empirically validated. We compare the associations of depression response and remission metrics with concomitant clinical improvement in patient-centered outcomes (PCOs). SUBJECTS: Secondary analysis of PHQ-9 and PCO data from the treatment arm (n=906) of the Improving Mood-Promoting Acce…
Is Maternal Income in Childhood Associated With Adolescent Health and Behavioral Outcomes
Maternal income increases immediate investment in children for food, child care, and health care, but whether maternal income influences longer term health and behavioral outcomes is unknown. Using data from the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, we examine the association between maternal income in early and later childhood on body mass index percentile, problem behaviors, and self-reported health status at age 15 among a sam…

Economic Value of Greater Access to Bariatric Procedures for Patients With Severe Obesity and Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: Designing optimal insurance is important to ensure access to care for individuals that are most likely to benefit. We examined the potential impact of lowering patient cost-sharing for bariatric procedures. METHODS: After defining 10 subgroups by body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we analyzed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey datasets to estimate the prevalence of each subgroup. The MarketScan…
Impact of a Value-based Formulary on Medication Utilization, Health Services Utilization, and Expenditures
BACKGROUND: Value-based benefit design has been suggested as an effective approach to managing the high cost of pharmaceuticals in health insurance markets. Premera Blue Cross, a large regional health plan, implemented a value-based formulary (VBF) for pharmaceuticals in 2010 that explicitly used cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to inform medication copayments. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: The objective of the study was to determine the impact of the…
Recommendations for Conduct, Methodological Practices, and Reporting of Cost-effectiveness Analyses
IMPORTANCE: Since publication of the report by the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine in 1996, researchers have advanced the methods of cost-effectiveness analysis, and policy makers have experimented with its application. The need to deliver health care efficiently and the importance of using analytic techniques to understand the clinical and economic consequences of strategies to improve health have increased in recent years. OB…
Real-World Data
As real-world data (RWD) in health care begin to cross over to the Big Data realms, a panel of health economists was gathered to establish how well the current US policy environment further the goals of RWD and, if not, what can be done to improve matters. This report summarizes these discussions spanning the current US landscape of RWD availability and usefulness, private versus public development of RWD assets, the current inherent bias in term…

Are Elderly Patients With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer Overtreated? Exploring Heterogeneity in Survival Effects
BACKGROUND: Clinical trial evidence shows minimal survival gains and higher complication rates from radical prostatectomy (RP) versus watchful waiting (WW) for elderly men with localized prostate cancer (PCa). It is believed that these patients are overtreated. The current analyses aim to explore patient-level heterogeneity in survival effects, examine matching of patients to treatments in practice, and identify patient characteristics driving he…

Health Utilities for Children and Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: We studied health utilities in patients with type 1 diabetes to understand potential differences in health utilities as function of age, type of respondent (self report vs. proxy report), and method of assessment (direct vs. indirect). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We elicited self-reported health utilities for adults (n=213) and children (n=238) with type 1 diabetes, and by parent proxy report (n=223) for overall quality of life [Healt…
The Prevalence, Correlates, and Impact of Logically Inconsistent Preferences in Utility Assessments for Joint Health States in Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Variations in health state utilities can impact cost-effectiveness analyses. One potential source of error is when joint health state (JS) utilities are rated higher than the embedded single state (SS) utilities. Knowing when and in whom this occurs can improve cost-effectiveness analyses. METHODS: Men (n = 323) were surveyed at the time of prostate biopsy. Time tradeoff SS and JS utilities for prevalent prostate cancer (PCa) health s…
Issues for the Next Generation of Health Care Cost Analyses
BACKGROUND: Given the characteristics of health care expenditure/cost data-a mass of observations at zero, and skewed positive expenditures, various alternative estimators have been developed that can address the analytical issues these characteristics raise. The field continues to develop new approaches and to evaluate the performance of the existing ones. OBJECTIVES: We discuss the strengths and limitations in existing methods for estimation an…

Characteristics of Patients Receiving Pharmaceutical Samples and Association Between Sample Receipt and Out-of-Pocket Prescription Costs
BACKGROUND: Pharmaceutical samples are widely used for promotion and marketing, yet little is known about who receives samples or how their use is associated with patient's prescription costs. OBJECTIVE: To examine the characteristics of those receiving samples and the relationship between sample receipt and out-of-pocket prescription costs. DESIGN, SUBJECTS, AND MEASURES: We divided the 2002-2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, a nationally re…
