Abstract

Agreement between administrative and survey data has been shown to vary by the condition of interest and there is limited research dedicated to parental report of asthma among children. The current study assesses the concordance between parent-reported asthma from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) with Medicaid administrative claims data among linkage eligible children from the NHIS. Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) files from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (years 2000-2005) were linked to participants of the NHIS (years 2001-2005). Concordance measures were calculated to assess overall agreement between a claims-based asthma diagnosis and a survey-based asthma diagnosis. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the association between demographic, service utilization, and co-occurring conditions factors and agreement. Percent agreement between the two data sources was high (90%) with a prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa of 0.80 and Cohen's kappa of 0.55. Agreement varied by demographic characteristics, service utilization characteristics, and the presence of allergies and other health conditions. Structural equation modeling results found the presence of a series of co-occurring conditi...Continue Reading

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
