Care Evaluation

A potential limitation of physician office records for ambulatory health care evaluation is their completeness. Criteria used to evaluate care of a specific problem not only should be of major importance in its diagnosis and treatment but should also be likely to be recorded in the physician's records. It is possible that a physician may not record certain kinds of observations and actions even though he performs them. Further, whether or not the physician enters information in his record may not be related to his opinion about its importance for patient care. The specific questions asked in this study were whether practices deemed desirable by practitioners for diagnosis and management of sore throat of possible streptococcal origin were actually performed and, if so, whether the performance was recorded.

Abstract Context.—Laboratory diagnosis of group A streptococcal pharyngitis in physician office and small-hospital laboratories. Objective.—To characterize laboratory practices for the diagnosis of group A streptococcal pharyngitis and to identify opportunities for improvement. Design.—Voluntary self-assessment questionnaire, used to assess the laboratory practices of 790 laboratories subscribing to the College of American Pathologists Excel Microbiology Proficiency Testing Program. Results.—We observed discrepancies between self-reported and recommended specimen collection and laboratory testing practices for some laboratories. The most notable discrepancies were failing to provide a written specimen-collection procedure (17.8%), sampling the tongue and oral mucosa (2%), failing to always perform back-up cultures when rapid antigen test results were negative (57.5%), and finalizing culture reports within 24 hours or less (34.0%). Additionally, among those respondents who used the bacitracin disk, 57.9% (277 respondents) applied the disk directly onto a primary plate. Conclusions.—Opportunities exist to improve testing practices for the diagnosis of group A streptococcal pharyngitis for some physician office and small-hospital laboratories.

Sex differences are well documented in chronic disease populations with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Although recent research has suggested that asthma is more severe in older women compared to men, the extent of this difference remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to compare rates of asthma-specific health services use (HSU) and medication use, between older women and men with asthma.This population-based cohort study included 209 054 individuals aged ≥66 years with asthma from health administrative data in Ontario, Canada. The primary exposure was sex. Outcomes included asthma-specific HSU (spirometry, emergency department (ED), hospitalisation, physician office and specialist visits) and medication use (asthma controller and reliever prescriptions). Negative binomial regression models adjusted for age, socioeconomic status and comorbidities were used to ascertain outcomes by sex from 2010 to 2016.Compared to men, women had lower rates of spirometry (adjusted relative rate (ARR) 0.87, 95% CI 0.85–0.89) and specialist visits for asthma (ARR 0.93, 95% CI 0.90–0.96), but higher rates of asthma-specific ED (ARR 1.43, 95% CI 1.33–1.53) and physician office visits (ARR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.05). Women also had lower asthma controller (ARR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97–0.99) but higher asthma reliever (ARR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02–1.05) prescription fill rates, compared to men.These findings may indicate poorer disease control, greater asthma severity and poorer access to specialist asthma care in women.
