Risk models in the private insurance setting may systematically underpredict socially disadvantaged. In this study, we sought to determine whether US minority Medicare beneficiaries had disproportionately low costs compared with their clinical outcomes and adding social determinants of health (SDOH) into risk prediction improves accuracy.Retrospective observational cohort study 2016 2017 Current Beneficiary Survey data (n=3614) linked fee-for-service claims. Logistic linear regressions were...
Background: Severe maternal morbidity is related to mortality and an important measure of health outcomes. Our objective was evaluate differences in rates severe (SMM&M) by rurality race, examine these trends over time. Materials Methods: It involves the retrospective cohort study delivery hospitalizations from January 1, 2012 December 31, 2017 National Inpatient Sample. We identified using International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification Tenth diagnosis procedure...
This study evaluated the repeatability of Developmental Eye Movement Test (DEM) with three consecutive administrations on two separate visits to 181 children between ages 6 years and 11 months.Children visual acuity ≥ 20/25, normal binocularity, accommodation were administered different versions DEM test. One 4 weeks after first administration DEM, tested again using same order for DEM. Measures within- between-session vertical-adjusted time, horizontal-adjusted ratio, error scores...
The Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) is a patient, proxy, and parental report of quality life specific to children with intermittent exotropia. We refine the IXTQ using Rasch analysis improve reliability validity.Rasch was performed on responses 575 patients exotropia enrolled from May 15, 2008, through July 24, 2013, their parents each 4 health-related quality-of-life questionnaires (child 5 7 years age child 8 17 age, parent questionnaires). performance structure were confirmed...
Importance Increased myopic shift was found to be associated with 1 year of overminus spectacle treatment for children intermittent exotropia (IXT). Persistence after discontinuing spectacles is unknown. Objective To compare refractive error change over 3 years in IXT originally treated vs nonoverminus spectacles. Design, Setting, and Participants This study an 18-month extension the Trial Overminus Spectacle Therapy Intermittent Exotropia cohort, which previously randomized aged 10 baseline...
Vision screenings are intended to efficiently identify students with possible visual impairment and initiate a referral for diagnosis treatment. In many cases, at-risk do not access the recommended care or experience delays in receiving care. The purpose of this article is report effect on adherence vision screening recommendations by providing eye examination at students’ school no cost. Of 1,306 screened, 382 (29.2%) were identified impairment. Parental consent was obtained 198 (51.8%)...
To determine the genetic correlates of physical frailty and sarcopenia, focusing on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), to explore overlap with cardiovascular disease (CVD) its risk factors. PubMed was systematically searched for GWAS investigating between SNPs objective measures or sarcopenia. were retained if they associated one phenotypes interest by a p-value 5.0×10−8 less. Ten included, total 237 181 genes being sarcopenia; as measured...
Decision support techniques and online algorithms aim to help individuals predict costs facilitate their choice of health insurance coverage. Self-reported status (SHS), whereby patients rate own health, could improve cost-prediction estimates without requiring share personal information or know about undiagnosed conditions. We compared the predictive accuracy several models: (1) SHS only, (2) a “basic” model adding health-related variables, (3) “full” measures healthcare access. The Medical...

Introduction: Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (HDP) are common, and associated with significant short- long-term cardiovascular morbidity mortality, but less is known about their association post-delivery health care utilization. We sought to assess the HDP 90-day unplanned hospital revisits (ED visits, observation stays, readmissions) in a broad cohort pregnant women. Methods: Retrospective study. Women who delivered from 1/1/2019-12/31/2019 at large urban were identified using diagnosis...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the time course of improvements in clinical convergence measures for children with symptomatic insufficiency treated office‐based vergence/accommodative therapy. Methods We evaluated from 205, 9‐ to 14‐year‐old randomised therapy Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial – Attention and Reading (CITT‐ART). Near‐point (NPC) near‐positive fusional vergence (PFV) were measured at baseline after 4, 8, 12 16 weeks therapy; mean change NPC PFV between these points...
