Background.We examined the effects of hip fracture on mortality, entry into long-term institutional care, and new evidence poverty. We estimate proportion patients who require not just short-term rehabilitation but become dependent risk becoming newly Medicaid or eligible for low-income subsidies following fracture.
Background Osteoporosis-related fractures are an important public health burden. Objective To examine care costs in Medicare patients with osteoporosis-related fracture. Methods fee-for-service members fracture between January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2014 were included. A nonfracture comparator group was selected by propensity score matching. Generalized linear models using a gamma distribution used compare and cohorts. Results total of 885 676 beneficiaries had fracture(s) met inclusion...
Abstract Although clinical trials have shown that denosumab significantly increases bone mineral density at key skeletal sites more than oral bisphosphonates, evidence is lacking from head-to-head randomized evaluating fracture outcomes. This retrospective cohort study uses administrative claims data Medicare fee-for service beneficiaries to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of vs alendronate in reducing risk among women with PMO US. Women ≥ 66 yr age no prior history osteoporosis...
To compare femtosecond laser-assisted capsulotomy with conventional manual capsulorhexis in cases of white cataract.The prospective comparative study enrolled 80 eyes (80 patients) cataract that underwent either surgery (Group I, n=40) or phacoemulsification II, at a tertiary care ophthalmic institution. The groups were divided based on the patient's choice and affordability procedure. Capsulotomy/capsulorhexis was evaluated terms size, circularity index (4Π [area/perimeter2]), intraocular...
Fractures impose substantial burdens, in terms of both costs and health, on individuals health care systems. This is particularly true for older Americans the Medicare system. The objective this study was to estimate associated with selected fractures among beneficiaries. a retrospective, person-level, pre/postfracture analysis using administrative data. used claims data from 1999 through 2005 5% sample subjects included beneficiaries, >or=65 yr age, who had at least 13 mo Parts A B coverage...
Purpose: To study the trends in collection, storage and utilization of donor corneas eye banks India. Methods: The data was collected from 12 India that more than 1000 per year. retrospective analysis parameters like characteristics host, media used, number eyes collected, utilized, causes non-utilization tissue procedures performed done. Results: A total 20,564 were by during year 2013–2014. Voluntary donation (VED), hospital cornea retrieval program (HCRP) contributed to 59.6% 40.4%...
Background: Discontinuation of bisphosphonates (BP) or a “drug holiday” after several years treatment is increasingly common. However, the association drug holiday duration with future fracture risk unclear. Objectives: We evaluated rate in relation to various lengths holidays among women receiving long-term BP therapy. Research Design: Observational cohort study using US Medicare data 2006–2016. Incidence rates (IRs) and Cox proportional hazards models were used evaluate adjusted hazard...
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate subthreshold diode micropulse (SDM) laser as a treatment modality in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and compare it with the current standard care (observation).MethodsA randomised controlled trial conducted on 68 eyes (34 SDM group 34 observation group) CSC, single angiographic leak duration complaints less than two months. Detailed history, examination investigations were performed at baseline regular intervals until six...
Abstract Introduction Previous research suggests patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may receive suboptimal care respect to preventive tests and services. We evaluated the proportion of older Americans RA, psoriatic (PsA), osteoarthritis (OA) receiving these services specialty providers delivering this care. Methods Using data from 1999 2006 Medicare Chronic Conditions Warehouse, we identified persons age >/= 65 in national 5% sample. Over required five-year observation period,...
To quantify the impact of bone metastasis and skeletal-related events (SREs) on mortality among older patients with lung cancer.Using linked Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results-Medicare database, we identified aged 65 years or diagnosed cancer between July 1, 1999 December 31, 2005 followed them to determine deaths through 2006. We classified as having possible SREs using discharge diagnoses from inpatient claims paired procedure codes outpatient claims. used Cox regression estimate...
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intracameral amphotericin B (ICAMB) in management fungal keratitis.Methods: In total, 45 eyes with smear-confirmed keratitis hypopyon were randomized into three treatment groups: Group I (topical antifungal + oral antifungal); II ICAMB III drainage antifungal). The main outcome measures success rate, time to heal, visual acuity gain, presence complications.Results: There no differences rates (p = 0.66), healing 0.18), or mean final (logMAR)...
The effect of Aloe vera in epilepsy has not yet been explored. This study was done to explore the aqueous extract leaf powder on three acute and one chronic model epilepsy.In study, (extract) administered doses 100, 200 400 mg/kg p.o. Dose chosen for administration. Oxidative stress parameters viz. malondialdehyde (MDA) reduced glutathione (GSH) were also estimated brain kindled animals.In a dose-dependent manner significantly decreased duration tonic hind limb extension maximal electroshock...
To compare the equivalence of gatifloxacin 0.3% with a combination fortified cefazolin sodium 5% and tobramycin sulfate 1.3% eye drops in treatment nonperforated bacterial corneal ulcers.In randomized, controlled, clinical trials, microbiologically proven cases ulcers were enrolled allocated randomly to one 2 groups. Group A was given therapy (fortified 1.3%) group B monotherapy (gatifloxacin 0.3%). The primary outcome measure percentage that healed at 3 months follow-up.Out 204 patients...
The metrics used to assess quality of care and pay for performance in rheumatology are increasingly important.
