Relationship of provider characteristics to outcomes, process, and costs of care for community-acquired pneumonia

OBJECTIVES: The authors describe the relation of provider characteristics to processes, costs, and outcomes of medical care for elderly patients hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia. METHODS: Using Medicare claims data, Medicare beneficiaries discharged from Pennsylvania hospitals during 1990 with community-acquired pneumonia were identified. Claims data were used to ascertain mortality, readmissions, use of procedures and physician consultations, and the costs of care. The relationship of these measures to provider characteristics was analyzed using regression techniques to adjust for patient characteristics, including comorbidity and microbial etiology. RESULTS: Among 22,294 pneumonia episodes studied, 30-day mortality was 17.0%. After adjusting for patient characteristics, 30-day mortality and readmission rates were unrelated to hospital teaching status or urban location or to physician specialty. Use of procedures and physician consultations was more common and costs were 11% higher among patients discharged from teaching hospitals compared with nonteaching hospitals. Similarly, costs were 15% higher at urban hospitals compared with rural hospitals. General internists and medical subspecialists used more procedures and had higher costs than family practitioners. CONCLUSIONS: Processes and costs of care for community-acquired pneumonia varied by provider characteristics, but neither mortality nor readmission rates did. These differences cannot be explained by clinical variables in the database. Further studies should determine whether less costly patterns of care for pneumonia, and perhaps other conditions, could replace more costly ones without compromising patient outcomes.

Numerical simulations of failure behavior around a circular opening in a non-persistently jointed rock mass under biaxial compression

Pre-existing discontinuities change the mechanical properties of rock masses,and further influence failure behavior around an underground opening.In present study,the failure behavior in both Inner and Outer zones around a circular opening in a non-persistently jointed rock mass under biaxial compression was investigated through numerical simulations.First,the micro parameters of the PFC^3D model were carefully calibrated using the macro mechanical properties determined in physical experiments implemented on jointed rock models.Then,a parametrical study was undertaken of the effect of stress condition,joint dip angle and joint persistency.Under low initial stress,the confining stress improves the mechanical behavior of the surrounding rock masses;while under high initial stress,the surrounding rock mass failed immediately following excavation.At small dip angles the cracks around the circular opening developed generally outwards in a step-path failure pattern;whereas,at high dip angles the surrounding rock mass failed in an instantaneous intact rock failure pattern.Moreover,the stability of the rock mass around the circular opening deteriorated significantly with increasing joint persistency.

SLOW PROPAGATION OF FATIGUE CRACK NEAR THRESHOLD

The effect of pearlite interlamellar spacing(d)from 0.31 to 0.77 μm of T8 steel on fatiguecrack propagation near threshold has been investigated at different stress ratios(R).Theclosure stress intensity factor(K_(cl)),the threshold value(ΔK_(th))and crack tip opening dis-placement range(ΔCOD)were measured.The results show that pearlite interlamellar spac-ing in this range has no effect on K_(cl),but has effect on the threshold value in low stress ratio.The threshold value is higher for materials with larger interlamellar spacing.No matter whatthe stress ratio is,during the propagation near threshold,the propagation rate will be thesame,provieded the crack tip opening displacement range is the same.Metallurgical examinations were also carried out to show that the crack propagationpath is sensitive to mierostructure.The crack always propagates along either boundary ofpearlite colony or ferrite lamellar in pearlite.     

EFFECT OF LASER SCANNING SPEED ON PHASE CONSTITUTION AND WEAR RESISTANCE OF LASER CLADDING HARD FACING ALLOY STELLITE 12

Effect of laser scanning speed on phase constitution,microstructure,microhardness and wearresistance of laser-cladding hard facing alloy Stellite 12 has been investigated by means of across-flow-type CO_2 laser of 1.5 kW.The laser-cladding layer on the alloy consists of ma-trix phase of suppersaturated solid solution γ(Co,Cr)and complex hexagonal carbideM_7C_3.Under certain condition,at higher laser scanning speed,the suppersaturated solubilityof elements increases in γ(Co,Cr),and the precipitation of the complex carbtde M_7C_3 de-creases,so the microhardness increases and the wear resistance decreases.But at slower laserscanning speed,more complex carbide M_7C_3 may precipitate,and the wear resistance may beimproved.Therefore,it is believed that the principal factor in improving wear resistance is theprecipitation of carbide M_7C_3,while increment of microhardness is the suppersaturated solu-bility of elements in matrix phase γ(Co,Cr).
