USA endometrial cancer projections to 2030: should we be concerned?

TL;DR: The projected increase of EC over next 16 years indicates the need for close monitoring of EC trends, and the best-fitting model predicting EC rates projected an increase to 42.13 EC cases per 100,000 by the year 2030.

Hospital volume and surgical mortality in the United States

TL;DR: In the absence of other information about the quality of surgery at the hospitals near them, Medicare patients undergoing selected cardiovascular or cancer procedures can significantly reduce their risk of operative death by selecting a high-volume hospital.

A modification of the Elixhauser comorbidity measures into a point system for hospital death using administrative data.

TL;DR: The Elixhauser comorbidity system can be condensed to a single numeric score that summarizes disease burden and is adequately discriminative for death in hospital when analyzing administrative data.

Trends in hospital volume and operative mortality for high-risk surgery.

TL;DR: Although increased market concentration and hospital volume have contributed to declining mortality with some high-risk cancer operations, declines in mortality with other procedures are largely attributable to other factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hysterectomy rates in the United States 1990-1997.

TL;DR: The introduction of alternative techniques for controlling abnormal uterine bleeding such as endometrial ablation has not had an impact on hysterectomy rates, and there has only been a limited uptake of laparoscopic approaches.
