Inadequate health literacy skills may impair comprehension of medical care instructions, and thereby reduce medication adherence. To examine the relationship between health literacy and medication refill adherence among Medicare managed care enrollees with cardiovascular-related conditions. Prospective cohort study. New Medicare enrollees from 4 managed care plans who completed an in-person survey and were identified through administrative data as having coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and/or hyperlipidemia (n=1,549). Health literacy was determined using the short form of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S-TOFHLA). Prospective administrative data were used to calculate the...

To determine the [beta]-blocker prescription rate among patients with systolic CHF at primary care Veterans Affairs (VA) clinics, its change over time; and to determine factors associated with nonprescription. Retrospective chart review. Seven hundred and forty-five patients with diagnostic codes for CHF followed in primary care clinics at 3 urban VA Medical Centers. Rate of [beta]-blocker prescription and comparison of patient characteristics between those prescribed versus those not prescribed [beta]-blockers. Only 368 (49%) had documented systolic CHF.

We chose an international selection of general and specialty medical journals that publish in English. Selection was based on journal impact factor, and the recommendations of experts in the field. We developed and pilot tested a 3-part web-based survey. The survey included questions about the presence of specific policies for authors, peer-reviewers, and editors, specific restrictions on authors, peer-reviewer...

To determine whether prophylaxis with GCS is associated with a decrease in the rate of deep vein thrombosis in nonsurgical elderly patients. Using original data from 2 multicenter nonrandomized studies, we performed multivariable and propensity score analyses to determine whether prophylaxis with GCS reduced the rate of deep vein thrombosis among 1,310 postacute care patients 65 years or older. The primary outcome was proximal deep vein thrombosis detected by routine compression ultrasonography performed by registered vascular physicians. Proximal deep vein thrombosis was found in 5.7% (21/371) of the GCS use...

An anonymous survey mailed to 1,345 PDs in Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Medicine-Pediatrics, and Obstetrics-Gynecology in the United States in 2003. Six hundred nineteen PDs (46%) responded. Half had taken care of their own residents for acute conditions. Less commonly, directors had written prescriptions for acute (40%) or chronic needs (15%) or provided ongoing care (22%).

As this may be a barrier to discussions about DNR orders, we changed a signed consent policy to a witnessed verbal consent policy, simplified and modified the DNR order forms, and educated the staff at 1 hospital, comparing the effects with an affiliated hospital where the policy was not changed. Prospective natural experiment with intervention and comparison sites. Pre- and postintervention, we surveyed house officers' confidence and attitudes, reviewed charts to assess the number of concurrent care concerns (CCCs) addressed per DNR order (e.g., limits on intubation or blood products or need for hospice), and at the intervention hospital, measured the s...

Contributing factors include the failure to engage stakeholders in developing the research and education agendas and the declining interest in academic careers. To reinvigorate academic medicine, it is necessary to understand what factors influence career choice. Exposure of trainees to research opportunities and graduate programs stimulate interest in academia. The desire to teach, conduct research, and the intellectual stimulation provided in academia also influence people. Several disincentives were found to careers in academic medicine including lack of financial rewards, lack of autonomy, and the pressure to be a "triple threat" requiring productivity in clinical work, research, and education.

To seek input from medical students and internal medicine residents ("trainees") on their perception of their needs for training in Geriatrics. Two assessment methods were used (1) focus groups with students and residents were conducted by professional facilitators and the transcripts analyzed for areas of agreement and divergence and (2) geriatric medicine experts and ward attendings were surveyed to examine training gaps raised by trainees during Geriatric Guest Attending Rounds. Trainees perceived training gaps in caring for elderly patients in the areas of (1) reco...

Little is known about their relative use after MI in typical care settings, and about their relative effectiveness outside the clinical trial setting. To assess temporal trends in the relative use of ACEI and ARB after myocardial infarction, and to test for differences in 1-year survival between users of these drug classes.
