..We sought to evaluate the effects of hormone therapy (HT) on false-positive (FP) recall for additional breast evaluation and costs...

..Mechanistic studies suggest that 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA inhibitors (statins) reduce the risk of breast cancer. Observational studies offer mixed results...

..This study estimated adherence to repeat (two successive on-time screenings) and regular screening (three or more successive screenings) and evaluated the impact of varying operational definitions and evaluation periods...

..Statins are a commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug, which also have the potential to affect cancer risk and progression. Results from previous studies offer mixed conclusions...

..However, statins have been found to be carcinogenic in rodents and one clinical trial found an excess of breast carcinoma cases in the treatment group...

..We hypothesized a reduction in colorectal cancer risk with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coA reductase inhibitors (statins) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors...

..To report trends and characteristics of long-term opioid use for non-cancer pain...

..Trivial changes in estimates were observed when health maintenance organization records alone were used as the gold standard. Self-reported use of antihypertensives and statins appears to be relatively accurate among older women...

..They are among the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide. Contrary to early concerns over the carcinogenicity of statins, a growing body of evidence suggests statins may in fact have a chemopreventive potential against cancer...

..This study in postmenopausal women examines health-related conditions and behavioral factors that may increase the risk of frequent infections, defined as having, on average, one or more infections per year...

..To evaluate if 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase reductase inhibitor use (statins) alters mammography measured breast density...

..To determine the extent of concomitant use of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChI) and anticholinergic (ACh) medications and the clinical consequences of dual use in a population-based setting...

..This paper describes characteristics of opioid use episodes for noncancer pain and defines thresholds for de facto long-term opioid therapy...

..However, human studies evaluating use of antidepressants in relation to breast cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results...

....

..To obtain quality-of-life (QOL) valuations associated with mammography screening and breast cancer treatment that are suitable for use in cost-effectiveness analyses...

..Using the health plan as a working frame of reference, we explore conceptual issues related to estimating effectiveness at the level of the family for use in CEA...

..To assess the usefulness of health plan administrative data for identifying patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)...

..Researchers should consider factors such as drug benefit status when conducting studies using pharmacy data. More studies are needed in different populations and delivery systems, as well as over varied types of drug benefits...

..CONCLUSION: Frequent telephone contacts and interventions by pharmacists and UC in a primary care setting resulted in similar rates of adherence to antidepressant regimens and improvements in the outcomes of depression at one year...

..To develop a pharmacist intervention to improve depression care and outcomes within a primary care setting...
