EE446 The Missing Link: Evaluating Economic Outcomes of an Uncoded Novel Diagnostic from Claims Data

چکیده

Healthcare claims are often used to assess medical resource utilization (MRU) and costs but less suited for evaluating novel diagnostics or therapeutics not issued a unique code, limiting payer decision-making on their real-world value. Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) must be diagnosed treated early accurately reduce risk of poor outcomes. We aimed develop evaluate claims-based method identify an uncoded rapid diagnostic (ND) mono/polymicrobial pathogens sensitivities assessed MRU cost outcomes its use compared with standard culture (SC) cUTI. Using 5% 2017-2019 Medicare Limited Dataset, we algorithmically identified Parts A+B beneficiaries cUTI; the specific ND from billed codes, laboratory identifiers test date; UTI-related propensity-matched cUTI cohorts whose outpatient UTIs were entirely versus SC one year following baseline year. About 11% ∼1.5M in each had principal secondary diagnosis UTI. 3184 tests identified, representing 0.40% all UTI tests. Adjusting sample size, this represented 110% laboratories’ reported volume diagnostic. 69 678 individuals propensity-matched. 65.2% 72.0% ≥1 additional (p=0.24). Rates composite (urgent care, emergency, inpatient, skilled nursing) 115.9 199.1 events per 1000 patient-years (p=0.168) mean allowed total (excluding SC) $629.55 (95%CI: 430.27, 920.90) $1,131.39 (1002.16, 1,277.27) (p=0.004). Subgroup analyses suggested greatest benefit diabetics (p=.012). demonstrated found significant patients cUTIs.

DEA with Missing Data: An Interval Data Assignment Approach

In the classical data envelopment analysis (DEA) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. In recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. This paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of Kousmanen (2009) approach. First, the prop...

The Missing Link: Data Analysis with Missing Information

How do you handle missing data? Deletion of those subjects frequently leads to biased outcomes. Mean imputation assumes that non-responders are no different than responders, and can bias variances toward zero. Last observation carried forward methods, while still often used, can cause bias and even induce an apparent treatment effect. Multiple imputation is an improved method to deal with these...
