  • Unintended pregnancy and breast-feeding behavior

    Timothy De Ver Dye, T D Dye et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1997Citada por: 8Referências: 4

    OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effect of unintended pregnancy on breast-feeding behavior. METHODS: All women delivering a live birth between January 1, 1995, and July 31, 1996 (n = 33,735), in the 15-county central New York region were asked whether they had intended to become pregnant and their breast-feeding plans. RESULTS: Women with mistimed pregnancies, and pregnancies that were not wanted were significantly less likely to breast-feed t…

  • Clinical Versus Administrative Data Bases for Cabg Surgery

    Edward L Hannan, Harold Kilburn et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1992

    This study compared the ability of a clinical and administrative data base in New York State to predict in-hospital mortality and to assess hospital performance for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The results indicated that the clinical data base, the Cardiac Surgery Reporting System, is substantially better at predicting case-specific mortality than the administrative data base, the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System. Also,…

  • Interracial Access to Selected Cardiac Procedures for Patients Hospitalized with Coronary Artery Disease in New York State

    Edward L Hannan, Harold Kilburn et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1991

    This study examines black/white differences in the utilization of three cardiac procedures (coronary angiography, coronary artery bypass graft, and coronary angioplasty) for patients hospitalized with coronary artery disease in New York State in the first 6 months of 1987. In contrast with previous studies, disease stages are used to control for severity of illness in addition to various severity proxies. Another methodological difference is that…

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

    Edward L Hannan, Harold Kilburn et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1991

    This study uses a new database containing clinical risk factors for cardiac surgery to investigate the relationship between surgical volume (hospital and surgeon) and inhospital mortality rate for all patients receiving coronary artery bypass surgery in New York State in 1989. Also, hospitals with significantly higher and lower mortality rates than expected on the basis of patient preoperative risk factors are identified. The results demonstrate …

  • A methodology for targeting hospital cases for quality of care record reviews

    Edward L Hannan, H R Bernard et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1989

    We tested the efficacy of selected case characteristics in targeting quality of care problems for medical record review. The case characteristics, all of which apply to patients who die in a hospital, consist primarily of procedures and DRGs (diagnosis-related groups) for which death rarely occurs, and a set of complications of surgical care. All characteristics are obtainable from combinations of the principal and secondary diagnoses and procedu…

  • Testing a Structural Theory of Corporate Cooptation

    R S Burt, Kenneth P Christman et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1980Citada por: 30Referências: 11

    Moving away from description of directorate ties as a cooptive device, we test a theory explicitly predicting cooptive uses of corporate directorates from the structure of the market in which firms operate. The theory is based on a network model of structural autonomy. It takes as exogenous information the sales and purchase transactions between establishments in sectors of the economy, locates those sectors most constraining pricing discretion w…
