Fabulous Histories by Sarah Trimmer
Music, Fable, and Fantasy
This article considers a strange, understudied work of eighteenth-century musical theatre, Thomas D’Urfey’s Wonders in the Sun (1706) . This highly intertextual, generically heterogeneous comic opera is a pastiche of literary and performative modes and ultimately a machine for generating wonder; it draws on elements from Aristophanes’ The Birds , seventeenth-century masque and semi-opera, as well as the lunar fictions. The article situates this p…
Impact of Nursing Home Palliative Care Teams on End-of-Life Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Deficits in end-of-life care in nursing homes (NHs) are reported, but the impact of palliative care teams (PCTeams) on resident outcomes remains largely untested. OBJECTIVE: Test the impact of PCTeams on end-of-life outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Multicomponent strategy employing a randomized, 2-arm controlled trial with a difference-in-difference analysis, and a nonrandomized second control group to assess the intervention's placebo effe…
Prototype End-of-Life Quality Measures Based on MDS 3 Data
BACKGROUND: The Nursing Home Compare (NHC) report card does not include end-of-life (EOL) quality measures (QMs). OBJECTIVES: To develop and examine the properties of EOL QMs. SUBJECTS: A total of 39,590 nursing home decedents in 626 facilities in New York State in fiscal year 2012. DESIGN: Statistical analyses of Minimum Data Set 3 data, including multivariable regression analyses and descriptive statistics. MEASURES: Death in the hospital, numb…
Have Racial Disparities in Ambulatory Care Sensitive Admissions Abated Over Time
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in access to care and access to high-quality care have been persistent over many decades. They have been documented in all areas of health care, including ambulatory care. Policy initiatives have been implemented to address disparities and close the gaps in care that minorities face. Less is known about the effectiveness of these polices. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether disparities in quality of ambulatory care have…
Stability of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders Among Long-term Nursing Home Residents
BACKGROUND: High-quality care for long-term nursing home residents should include discussions and follow-up on patients' end-of-life care wishes. Yet, recent changes to the Minimum Data Set data collection exclude this information from routine assessment of patients mandated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, making the provision of high-quality end-of-life care less likely. We examined the stability of cardiopulmonary resuscitation…
Changes in Racial Disparities in Access to Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery Between the Late 1990s and Early 2000s
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in medical care in the United States are pervasive and persistent. Minorities, African American patients in particular, have lower utilization rates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and, compared with white patients, they receive care from surgeons with worse records of performance. OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine the persistence of disparities in CABG care (overall access to surgery and access to hi…
A Randomized Experiment Testing Inmate Classification Systems
Research Summary: In California, incarceration in the state prison system is in part organized by security level. The higher the security level, the more restrictive the setting. Upon arrival at a reception center, new inmates are scored within a classification system that is used to determine the appropriate level of security. In this paper, we report on the development and testing of a new inmate classification scoring system. Over 20,000 inmat…
