Purpose: To measure intensity of end-of-life (EOL) care for Medicare cancer patients and variations in by age, gender, race. Patients Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis claims (20% sample) examined 235,821 Parts A B fee-for-service dying with poor-prognosis cancers between 2003 2007. Logistic regression models quantified associations Measures included hospitalizations, emergency department (ED) visits, intensive unit (ICU) admissions, in-hospital deaths, late-life chemotherapy...
We sought to describe lung cancer prevalence and mortality in relation socioeconomic deprivation rurality.We conducted a population-based cross-sectional analysis of prevalent cancers from statewide all-payer claims dataset 2012 2016, deaths Maine the state death registry rurality, area index (ADI), geographic area-based measure deprivation. Analyses examined rate ratios for according rurality (small isolated rural, large or urban) ADI (quintiles, with highest reflecting most deprivation)...
Purpose This analysis identifies factors associated with completion of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients ovarian cancer and subsequent use health services. Patients Methods We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) –Medicare database to identify 4,617 women age 65 years or older diagnosed from 2001 2005. By using multivariable analyses as outcome interest, we describe treatment, including age, race, marital status, comorbidities, sociodemographic factors. Use services was...
Abstract Objectives To define pregnancy episodes and estimate gestational age within electronic health record (EHR) data from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). Materials Methods We developed a comprehensive approach, named Hierarchy rule-based episode Inference integrated with Pregnancy Progression Signatures (HIPPS), applied it to EHR in N3C (January 1, 2018–April 7, 2022). HIPPS combines: (1) an extension of previously published algorithm, (2) novel algorithm detect...
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic disorder characterized by deficiency in endoglin, an angiogenic protein. The net effect of endoglin expression on cancer outcomes from animal studies has proven controversial. We evaluated whether reduced systemic levels, expected patients diagnosed with HHT, impacted clinical for cancer.
Abstract Background Increasing rates of injection drug use (IDU) associated-infections suggest significant syringe service program (SSP) underutilization. Our study objective was to assess practices safe techniques and determine predictors SSP utilization in a rural state. Patients methods This fifteen-month cross-sectional participants hospitalized with IDU-associated infections Maine. Data were collected through Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview survey medical record review....
Background While COVID-19 vaccines reduce adverse outcomes, post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infection remains problematic. We sought to identify community factors impacting risk for breakthrough infections (BTI) among fully vaccinated persons by rurality. Methods conducted a retrospective cohort study of US adults sampled between January 1 and December 20, 2021, from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C). Using Kaplan-Meier Cox-Proportional Hazards models adjusted demographic differences...
Abstract Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality in United States, and rural states bear a greater burden disease. Methods We analyzed tumor registry data to examine relationships between rurality lung stage at diagnosis treatment. Cases were from Maine Cancer Registry 2012 2015, was defined using rural‐urban commuting areas. Multivariable models used treatment, adjusting for age, sex, poverty, education, insurance status, stage. Results identified 5,338...
Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often experience persistent symptoms, known as postacute sequelae of COVID-19 or long COVID, after severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Chronic lung (CLD) has been identified in small-scale studies a potential risk factor for COVID. This large-scale retrospective cohort study using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative data evaluated link between CLD and over 6 months SARS-CoV-2 We included adults (aged ≥18 years) who...
Importance Understanding whether there are racial and ethnic residential disparities in prenatal telehealth uptake is necessary for ensuring equitable access guiding implementation of future hybrid (ie, both in-person) care. Objective To assess temporal changes individuals using care before during the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) by race ethnicity residence location US. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study analyzed electronic record data visits from...
Exogenous estrogen is associated with reduced coronavirus disease (COVID) mortality in nonimmunosuppressed/immunocompromised (non-ISC) postmenopausal females. Here, we examined the association of or testosterone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) COVID outcomes solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) compared to non-ISC individuals, given known differences sex-based risk these populations. SOTRs ≥45 years old COVID-19 between April 1, 2020 and July 31, 2022 were identified using National...
Abstract Background Anticoagulation (AC) utilization patterns and their predictors among hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have not been well described. Methods Using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative, we conducted a retrospective cohort study (2020–2022) to assess AC use identify factors associated with therapeutic employing modified Poisson regression. Results Among 162 842 COVID-19 patients, 64% received 24% AC. Therapeutic declined from 32% in 2020 12% 2022,...
This research includes interviews with 10 U.S. Army wives and mothers to examine mothering within the military context. Findings reveal what I label “military motherwork,” a style similar civilian described in marriage family literature. Similar mothers, they feel more responsible for maintaining household taking care of their needs, both physically emotionally, compared husbands. They also often engage Sharon Hays (1996 Hays, Sharon. 1996. The Cultural Contradictions Motherhood. New Haven,...

Setting: National COVID Collaborative (N3C) database. Patients: 158,835 patients confirmed a sub-cohort severe disease (n = 81,381) hospitalized 1 January 2020 31 July 2021. Methods: We identified prescribing using codes for its derivatives. created defined as having those who required mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane...
Abstract Objective To determine the impact of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection on patient with concomitant active cancer and CVD. Methods The researchers extracted analyzed data from National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) database between January 1, 2020, July 22, 2022. They included only patients infection, defined as a positive test by PCR 21 days before 5 after day index hospitalization. Active cancers were last drug administered within 30 admission. “Cardioonc” group consisted CVD cancers....
