Coarse particles and respiratory emergency department visits in California.
Although respiratory disease has been strongly connected to fine particulate air pollution (particulate matter <2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5)), evidence has been mixed regarding the effects of coarse particles (particulate matter from 2.5 to 10 μm in diameter), possibly because of the greater spatial heterogeneity of coarse particles. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between coarse par...

متن کاملVariation in charges for emergency department visits across California.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that charges for inpatient and clinic procedures vary substantially; however, there are scant data on variation in charges for emergency department (ED) visits. Outpatient ED visits are typically billed with current procedural terminology-coded levels to standardize the intensity of services received, providing an ideal element on which to evaluate ch...
متن کاملSpatial Patterns of Epilepsy-Related Emergency Department Visits in California
BACKGROUND Socio-demographic factors are associated with increased emergency department (ED) use among patients with epilepsy. However, there has been limited spatial analysis of such visits. DESIGN AND METHODS California ED visit at the patient ZIP Code level were examined using Kulldorf's spatial scan statistic to identify clusters of increased risk for epilepsy-related visits. Logistic reg...
متن کاملThe Impact on Emergency Department Visits for Respiratory Illness During the Southern California Wildfires
INTRODUCTION In 2007 wildfires ravaged Southern California resulting in the largest evacuation due to a wildfire in American history. We report how these wildfires affected emergency department (ED) visits for respiratory illness. METHODS We extracted data from a Kaiser Permanente database for a single metropolitan community ED. We compared the number of visits due to respiratory illness at t...
