Hepatitis A Outbreaks Associated With the Opioid Epidemic in Kentucky Counties, 2017–2018
Objectives. To describe county-level socioeconomic profiles associated with Kentucky’s 2017–2018 hepatitis A outbreak that predominately affected communities affected by the opioid epidemic. Methods. We linked county-level characteristics on socioeconomic and housing variables to counties’ hepatitis A rates. Principal component analysis identified county profiles of poverty, education, disability, income inequality, grandparent responsibility, re…
Mortality Among Unsheltered Homeless Adults in Boston, Massachusetts, 2000-2009
Importance: Previous studies have shown high mortality rates among homeless people in general, but little is known about the patterns of mortality among "rough sleepers," the subgroup of unsheltered urban homeless people who avoid emergency shelters and primarily sleep outside. Objectives: To assess the mortality rates and causes of death for a cohort of unsheltered homeless adults from Boston, Massachusetts. Design, Setting, and Participants: A …
Association of cultural affinity and island food consumption in the Pacific Islander health study
Objectives: The dietary patterns of Pacific Islander Americans are partially influenced by a rich cultural heritage. There is little known about how cultural affinity affects the dietary choices of this small, but quickly growing population. This analysis attempts to understand how the association of cultural affinity on island foods consumption (IFC) varies by key demographic characteristics. Design: A sample of 240 Samoan and Tongan adults in C…
Sociodemographic factors influencing island foods consumption in the Pacific Islander Health Study
Objectives: Pacific Islander Americans are a small, but quickly growing population that experiences alarming disparities in obesity and obesity-related chronic illnesses influenced by dietary patterns. This population also has a unique culinary heritage including traditional foods and more contemporary imports such as tinned meats and refined carbohydrates. This analysis is a novel attempt to understand the sociodemographic factors influencing is…
Are There Regional Differences in Gynecologic Cancer Outcomes in the Context of a Single-payer, Publicly-funded Health Care System
Hospital Workload and Adverse Events
CONTEXT: Hospitals are under pressure to increase revenue and lower costs, and at the same time, they face dramatic variation in clinical demand. OBJECTIVE: : We sought to determine the relationship between peak hospital workload and rates of adverse events (AEs). METHODS: A random sample of 24,676 adult patients discharged from the medical/surgical services at 4 US hospitals (2 urban and 2 suburban teaching hospitals) from October 2000 to Septem…
Validation of the asthma impact survey, a brief asthma-specific quality of life tool
Quality of informed consent in cancer clinical trials
Prenatal hospitalization and compliance with guidelines for prenatal care
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between compliance with the US Public Health Service guidelines for prenatal care and the rate of prenatal hospitalization. METHODS: For all women admitted to a Boston referral center during January and February 1993 with a pregnancy of at least 18 weeks gestation (n = 1400), a proportional hazards model was used to examine factors associated with prenatal hospitalization. RESULTS: Prenatal hospita…
Development of the Activities of Daily Vision Scale
To develop a method for the evaluation of visual function in subjects with cataracts, the authors identified 20 visual activities and categorized them into five subscales (distance vision, near vision, glare disability, night driving, and daytime driving) that comprised the Activities of Daily Vision Scale (ADVS). Each subscale in the ADVS was scored between 100 (no visual difficulty) and 0 (inability to perform the activity because of visual dif…
Impact of Initial Triage Decisions on Nursing Intensity for Patients With Acute Chest Pain
The results of a prospective evaluation of the patient-specific correlates of nursing intensity for 183 consecutive emergency room patients admitted for evaluation of acute chest pain, including 33 (18%) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are reported. These correlates were measured with a previously-validated, commercially-available patient classification tool (Medicus). In multiple linear regression analysis that adjusted for the effects o…
The impact of Medicare on early cancer detection in the elderly
In an analysis of 23 sex-specific tumors in the Connecticut Tumor Registry, only seven tumors showed more than a 20 per cent increase in the ratio of localized tumors detected post-Medicare (1967-75) versus ante-Medicare (1960-65) in the 65-75 year age group compared to the 60-64 year age group. Of these seven, the information was more convincing for lung cancer in males. Overall, however, Medicare had little if any impact on early tumor diagnosi…
