Non-parametric estimation of gap time survival functions for ordered multivariate failure time data
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2004-06-30)
Times between sequentially ordered events (gap times) are often of interest in biomedical studies. For example, in a cancer study, the gap times from incidence-to-remission and remission-to-recurrence may be examined. Such ...

Institutional variation in ordering complete blood counts for children hospitalized with bronchiolitis This work was presented at the Pediatric Academic Society Meeting, May 2005.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-03)
BACKGROUND In the evaluation of infants with bronchiolitis there is little evidence to support the use of diagnostic testing, particularly complete blood counts (CBCs). However, the extent to which CBCs are ordered in the ...
A shared random effects model for censored medical costs and mortality
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006)
In this paper, we propose a model for medical costs recorded at regular time intervals, e.g. every month, as repeated measures in the presence of a terminating event, such as death. Prior models have related monthly medical ...
A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Sucrose Analgesia in Infants Younger Than 90 Days of Age Who Require Bladder Catheterization in the Pediatric Emergency Department
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-06)
: Objectives: To determine whether an oral sucrose solution improves pain response for infants undergoing bladder catheterization in an emergency department (ED) population. Methods: A randomized, double-blinded study ...
