Article Citation - Scopus: 8Patterns of Treatment and Correction of Hyponatremia in Intensive Care Unit Patients(W.B. Saunders, 2015) Badawi, Omar; Chiodo, Joseph; Waikar, Sushrut S.; Boklage, Susan; Dasta, Joseph; Xie, Lin; Başer, OnurPurpose: The goal of this study was to examine the real-world patterns of care and interventions among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with hypervolemic and euvolemic hyponatremia using a large clinical database. Materials and Methods: The Phillips eICU Research Institute database was used to investigate hyponatremia treatment patterns and trends, mortality, and ICU and hospital length of stay. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcome variables were compared in patients corrected for hyponatremia using both a more strict and a less strict definition. Results: At admission, 35%, 55%, and 10% of patients had mild, moderate, and severe hyponatremia, respectively. At the end of an ICU stay, the percentage of patients who did not have corrected serum sodium concentration was 48% (using a more strict definition) and 24% (using a less strict definition). Using either definition of correction, patients with serum sodium correction had lower mortality and longer survival than did patients without corrected serum sodium concentration. Conclusions: A significant proportion of hyponatremia is not corrected during an ICU stay. Critically ill patients with hyponatremia who have their serum sodium corrected have lower mortality and longer survival, highlighting the need for more attention to hyponatremia and its correction in critically ill patients. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.Conference Object Early Comparison of Major Bleeding, Stroke and Associated Medical Costs Among Treatment-Naive Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients Initiating Apixaban, Dabigatran, Rivaroxaban or Warfarin(2015) Alpesh, A; Keshishian, A; Xie, L; Başer, Onur; Price, K; Vo, L; Singh, P; Bruno, A; Mardekian, J; Tan, W; Singhal, S; Patel, C; Odell, K; Trocio J....Conference Object Examining the Prevalence and Incidence Rates Among Patients With Drug Dependence in the Us Veteran Population(2016) Pandya, S; Du, H; Wang, L; Başer, Onur...Conference Object Pms38 - Demographic Distribution and Economic Burden of Patients Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Us Medicare Population(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Li, L; Mao, X; Shrestha, S; Başer, Onur; Yuce H.; Wang, Li; Yuce, H.OBJECTIVES: To determine the demographic distribution and health care burden ofpatients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using Medicare fee-for-service(FFS) data. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed using the 100%Medicare FFS datasets from October 1, 2008 through December 31, 2012. Patientsdiagnosed with RA were identified using International Classification of Diseases,9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis code 714, and the first diagnosis datewas designated as the index date. All patients were required to have continuousmedical and pharmacy benefits 1 year pre- (baseline period) and post-index date(follow-up period). Health care resource utilization and costs during the baseline andfollow-up periods were calculated. RESULTS: Using Medicare FFS data, 112,550 RApatients were identified. The average age at diagnosis was 76 years, and 72.54% ofpatients were women and 83.94% were white. The most common baseline comorbidities were diabetes (35.48%), followed by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(30.83%) and cerebrovascular disease (21.50%). During the follow-up period, 66.35%of patients had inpatient admissions, 49.01% had emergency room visits, 87.93%had outpatient office visits, 87.93% had outpatient visits and 61.67% had pharmacyvisits and costs were, on average, $26,510, $256, $4,204, $4,460 and $6,249, respectively. The average total costs incurred by RA patients were $37,219. The five mostcommonly-prescribed medications prescribed to treat RA were prednisone (3.40%),levothyroxine sodium (2.63%), hydrocodone bit/acetaminophen (2.39%), furosemide(2.13%) and omeprazole (2.13%). CONCLUSIONS: RA patient demographic distributions and RA-related health care cost information was obtained and the mostcommonly prescribed medications to treat RA were identified.Conference Object Comparison of All-Cause Mortality Rate and Economic Burden Between Newly Diagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease Patients Who Received Anti-Dementia Treatment Versus Not: a Longitudinal Retrospective Study(2016) Black, CM; Hu, X; Khandker RK; Ambegaonkar, BM; Kariburyo, M.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) Medicare Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS) was used as the basis for adjustment methodology. MEPS is a data source representing health insurance coverage cost and utilization, and comprises several large-scale surveys of families, individuals, employers, and health care providers. Using these data, we created subset populations. We then used multivariate logistic regression to construct demographics and case-mix-based weights, which were applied to create a population sample that is similar to the national population. The weight was derived using the inverse probability of the weighting approach, as well as a raking mechanism. We compared the results with the projected number of persons in the US population in the same categories to examine the validity of the weights. The following variables were used in the logistic regression: Age group, gender, race, location, income level and health status (Charlson Comorbidity Index scores and chronic condition diagnosis). Relative to MEPS data, patients included in the private insurance data were more likely to be male, older, to have a chronic condition, and to be white (p=0.0000). Adjusted weighted values for patients in the commercial group ranged from 15.47 to 36.36 (median: 16.91). Commercial insurance and MEPS data populations were similar in terms of their socioeconomic and clinical categories. As an outcomes measure, the predicted annual number of patients with prescription claims from private insurance data was 6 963 034. The annual number of statin users were predicted as 6 709 438 using weighted MEPS data. National projections of large-scale patient longitudinal databases require adjustment utilizing demographic factors and case-mix differences related to health status.Conference Object Examining Health Care Utilization and Costs among Atherosclerosis Patients in the Us Veteran Health Administration Population(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017) Kariburyo, M. T.; Xu, J.; Baser, O.; Xie, L.; Zhang, Q.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Warfarin Discontinuation in Patientswith Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism: a Large Us Insurance Database Analysis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Mardekian, Jack; Liu, Xianchen; Phatak, Hemant; Xie, Lin; Tan, Wilson; Başer, Onur; Ramacciotti, EduardoThis study examined warfarin therapy discontinuation and its risk factors among patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the US clinical practice setting. Adult patients with unprovoked VTE were identified from the MarketScan claims database from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2012. The index date was defined as the date of first VTE diagnosis. Patients were required to have no VTE diagnosis in the 6 months before index date and continuous health plan enrollment for 6 months before and 12 months after the index date. Warfarin discontinuation rates and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were reported. Of 21,163 eligible patients, 15,463 were diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) only (73.1%), 5027 with pulmonary embolism (PE) only (23.7%), and 673 with DVT and PE (3.2%). The average duration of warfarin therapy was 5.2 months (SD = 3.0). During 1-year follow-up, 21.4% patients discontinued therapy within 3 months, 42.8% within 6 months, and 70.1% within 12 months. PE versus DVT [HR = 0.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.74-0.80], comorbid atrial fibrillation (HR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.66-0.81), thrombophilia (HR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.54-0.71), and age >40 years (41-65 years: HR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.81-0.91; >65 years: HR = 0.82, 95% CI = 0.77-0.87) were significantly associated with reduced risk of warfarin discontinuation. Alcohol abuse/dependence (HR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.20-1.55), cancer history (HR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.07-1.19), bleeding (HR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.01-1.15), and catheter ablation (HR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.00-1.20) in the 6 months before index date were significantly associated with increased risk for warfarin discontinuation. In conclusion, nearly 1 of 4 patients with unprovoked VTE discontinued warfarin within 3 months. Three of 4 patients discontinued therapy within 1 year. Younger age and multiple clinical factors are associated with warfarin therapy discontinuation.Conference Object Pdb44 - Health Care Resource Utilization and Costs Among Diabetes Patients Residing in Long-Term Care Facilities(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015) Huang, A; Shrestha, S; Başer, Onur; Yuce, H; Wang, LOBJECTIVES: To evaluate health care resource utilization and costs among diabetespatients residing in long-term care facilities. METHODS: Patients diagnosed withdiabetes (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modificationdiagnosis codes 250.x0, 250.x2) were identified using the Long-Term Care MinimumData Set (MDS) linked to 5% Medicare data from 01JAN2009 through 31DEC2010. Theinitial diagnosis date was designated as the index date. A comparison cohort wascreated for patients without diabetes, using 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM)to control for age, region, gender and baseline Charlson Comorbidity Index score.The index date for the comparison cohort was randomly chosen to reduce selection bias. Patients in both cohorts were required to be age ?65 years, have at leasttwo consecutive quarterly assessments documented in MDS data 6 months priorto the index date and have continuous medical and pharmacy benefits for 1-yearpre- and post-index date. Health care resource utilization and costs were comparedbetween the diabetes and comparison cohorts. RESULTS: After applying PSM, 783patients were included in each cohort, and baseline characteristics were balanced.Diabetes patients had a higher percentage of inpatient (31.29% vs. 22.73%, p=0.0001),skilled nursing facility (SNF, 31.55% vs. 22.73%, p<0.001), durable medical equipment (27.46% vs. 16.48%, p<0.0001) and pharmacy visit claims (93.10% vs. 88.76%,p=0.0028) compared to those without diabetes. Patients in the diabetes cohort alsoincurred significantly higher inpatient ($5,801 vs. $3,071, p<0.0001), SNF ($5,532 vs.$3,244, p<0.0001), carrier claim ($3,118 vs. $2,437, p=0.0002) and pharmacy visit costs($5,040 vs. $4,275, p=0.0005) than those in the comparison cohort. CONCLUSIONS:Patients diagnosed with diabetes had significantly higher health care resource utilization and costs than those without diabetes.
