A Population-Level Summary of Health Care Utilization for the Management of Patellar Tendinopathy in the Military Health System

Journal Article Young, Jodi L. ; Schroeder, Jeremy D. ; Westrick, Richard B. ; ... - The Journal of Knee Surgery

Abstract Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a common nontraumatic orthopaedic disorder of the knee suffered by many service members. Understanding the make-up of usual care for PT at the system level can better frame current clinical gaps and areas that need improvement. Exercise therapy is recommended as a core treatment for PT, but it is unclear how often it is used as a part of usual care for PT within the Military Health System (MHS). The purpose of the study was to identify interventions used in the management of PT and the timing of these interventions. A secondary purpose was tomore »« less

Understanding Barriers to Cervical Cancer Screening in Women With Access to Care, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2014

Journal Article Crawford, Anatasha ; Benard, Vicki ; King, Jessica ; ... - Preventing Chronic Disease

Cervical cancer screening can save lives when abnormal cervical lesions and early cancers are detected and treated; however, many women are not screened as recommended. We used the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey to examine nonfinancial barriers to cervical cancer screening among women who reported having insurance and a personal doctor or health care provider. Among these women, a higher proportion who were never or rarely screened reported having multiple chronic conditions. The results of this study underscore the importance of incorporating preventive clinical services into the management of one or more chronic conditions.

Getting more from heterogeneous HIV-1 surveillance data in a high immigration country: estimation of incidence and undiagnosed population size using multiple biomarkers

Journal Article Giardina, Federica ; Romero-Severson, Ethan O. ; Axelsson, Maria ; ... - International Journal of Epidemiology

Most HIV infections originate from individuals who are undiagnosed and unaware of their infection. Estimation of this quantity from surveillance data is hard because there is incomplete knowledge about (i) the time between infection and diagnosis (TI) for the general population, and (ii) the time between immigration and diagnosis for foreign-born persons. We developed a new statistical method for estimating the incidence of HIV-1 and the number of undiagnosed people living with HIV (PLHIV), based on dynamic modelling of heterogeneous HIV-1 surveillance data. The methods consist of a Bayesian non-linear mixed effects model using multiple biomarkers to estimate TI ofmore »« less

Direct health-care cost of head and neck cancers: a population-based study in north-eastern Italy

Journal Article Polesel, Jerry ; Lupato, Valentina ; Collarile, Paolo ; ... - Medical Oncology (Online)

Improvements in prognosis of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have paralleled with an increase in health-care costs, so that an economic evaluation is of growing importance. Presently, most of the evidence is from insurance-based studies in the USA. Between 2007 and 2010, 879 HNSCC patients were identified through the population-based cancer registry of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, including 266 oral, 187 oropharyngeal, 136 hypopharyngeal, and 290 laryngeal cancers. Health-care costs from diagnosis to treatment initiation and in the following 2 years were retrieved through a record linkage with the regional health data warehouse. This database collected comprehensive health information onmore »« less

Risk assessments: From reactor safety to health care

Journal Article - Science and Technology Review

The Laboratory`s Fission Energy and Systems Safety Program (FESSP) performs engineering risk assessments to study and assess the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of various products, processes, and facilities. Evolving methods and techniques are discussed in the context of four cases: an analysis to develop seismic criteria for siting and design of nuclear power plants, risk analysis of reactor coolant piping systems to establish new piping design objectives and increase nuclear power plant safety, study of risks involved in the transport of spent reactor fuel to determine the level of safety provided during transport and the adequacy of existing transport regulationsmore »« less
