We examined trends and patterns of amenable mortality-deaths that should not occur in the presence of timely and effective health care-in the United States compared to those in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom between 1999 and 2007. Americans under age sixty-five during this period had elevated rates of amenable mortality compared to their peers in Europe. For Americans over age sixty-fi...

let a be a banach algebra. a is called ideally amenable if for every closed ideal i of a, the first cohomology group of a with coefficients in i* is trivial. we investigate the closed ideals i for which h1 (a,i* )={0}, whenever a is weakly amenable or a biflat banach algebra. also we give some hereditary properties of ideal amenability.

A series of outcome indicators was proposed for assessing the curative aspects of health care using several diseases for which evidence suggested that death was largely avoidable provided that appropriate medical treatment could be given in time. International data were examined for those causes for which data were readily available. Time trends in mortality were compared for each of these cond...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether and how the rankings of the world's health systems based on disability adjusted life expectancy as done in the 2000 World Health Report change when using the narrower concept of mortality amenable to health care, an outcome more closely linked to health system performance. DESIGN Analysis of mortality amenable to health care (including and excluding ischaemic heart...

1. I am puzzled by the definition of amenable deaths used in the paper. In the title it seems like the main focus is mortality amenable to health care. However, premature death of COPD was classified as amenable to health care. This I find very strange. I would believe that smoking would be the main factor associated with COPD and not the health care? A reference was given to work from Australi...

We compared trends in deaths considered amenable to health care before age seventy-five between 1997-98 and 2002-03 in the United States and in eighteen other industrialized countries. Such deaths account, on average, for 23 percent of total mortality under age seventy-five among males and 32 percent among females. The decline in amenable mortality in all countries averaged 16 percent [correcte...
