Objectives: To describe and characterize a group of private insurance members taking multiple medications over a one-year period. Methods: Persons were selected for this polypharmacy analysis if they had at least five unique maintenance prescriptions in their pharmacy claims records for the period of January-March 2005, based on a customized list of chronic medications. The full set of pharmacy and medical claims for these members were evaluated for a twelve month period, October 2004 to September 2005. Standard descriptive statistics were calculated to characterize the population. Logistic regression models were used to assess the association of pharmacy claims and “safety …

Introduction: EMS protocols outlining when to attempt and terminate resuscitation for non-traumatic out-of- hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary substantially across North America. The ROC Epistry is a prospective population based cohort study with uniform Utstein-style data definitions from 11 sites in North America. The purpose of this study was to compare site variation in EMS treatment and transport percentages within the ROC Epistry. We also examined the differences in overall survival in relation to the presence of ROSC prior to transport. Methods: Analysis of ROC Epistry data from 7 sites for all patients > 20 years of age with OHCA between …
