Mortality in a public and a private hospital compared
OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) if there were significant differences between patients who died at a public hospital and those who died at a university hospital that functions as a private, community hospital, and (2) if those differences were associated with an increased risk of death. METHODS. Chart review collected variables used by the Health Care Financing Administration in mortality analyses to examine how sev…
Comparison of subjective ratings of function with observed functional ability of frail older persons
BACKGROUND. Important clinical decisions often hinge on patients' functional status. Previous studies have shown disagreement among sources of ratings of patients' functional status. This study compared patient self-ratings, family member ratings, and physician ratings of patient function to performance-based functional testing criteria. METHODS. Five activities of daily living of 73 older patients were studied at admission to a rehabilitation un…
Impact of a geriatric assessment unit on subsequent health care charges
BACKGROUND. In a recent randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of an inpatient geriatric assessment unit (GAU), we demonstrated that patients assigned to the unit were less likely than those in the usual care group to be admitted to a nursing home and more likely to remain living in the community. Despite evidence of benefits of GAU care, questions remain about its cost. We examine the impact of GAU treatment on subsequent health care…

Health Self-Report Correlates Among Older People in National Random Sample Data
older people ~health selfreports (HSR.s) are frequently cited in explanations for changes in social status (e.g., retirement). social participation-o.ctivity (e.g., disengagement), andpersonalattitudes (e.g., life satisfaction). The purpose ofresearch reported here was to establish correlates of HSRs in u.s. national random sample data. The parametric analysis stTategywas applied to data on aU persons aged 65+ intel11iewed for the Harris-NCOA sur…
Nomogram for Obtaining Z-Test Statistic from Kendall's S and Sample Size 10 To 50
Kendall's S is often used for measuring the magnitude of bivariate association in social and behavioral research. The nomogram described and reproduced here permits a research analyst to make rapid and accurate evaluation of the statistical significance of S without recourse to formulae or computations in all except borderline cases, and it provides an easily-understood display of relationships between measure of association, sample size, and tes…
