Study Population

IHCIS, 2005-2007. The Impact National Managed Care Benchmark Database™ (formally known as Integrated Healthcare Information Services - IHCIS - prior to its purchase by Ingenix, Inc and referred to as IHCIS within GSK) is a comprehensive, de-identified U.S. healthcare claims database that is representative of the non-elderly, insurance-carrying population in the U.S. The database contains inpatient/outpatient and pharmacy claims, lab results and enrollment information on over 82 million lives from 1997 to 2007. Over 75 percent of all patients in the database have both medical and pharmacy benefits and, on average, 23.4 months of enrollment/claims information; the annual attrition rate is roughly 15-25 percent. The data are collected from over 45 different healthcare plans serving members across nine census regions. The database is HIPAA compliant and features encrypted member and provider IDs.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Enrollment in IHCIS in 2006
  • At least one HEC or MEC claim in 2006

Exclusion Criteria:

  • HEC or MEC claim three months before first HEC/MEC claim - "wash-in" period (i.e. must be enrolled for three months prior to first HEC/MEC claim. For patients whose first HEC/MEC event is between January 1,2006 and March 31, 2006, enrollment criteria for inclusion in the study may extend as far back as October 1, 2005)
  • HEC or MEC claims prior to 45 days after last HEC or MEC claim - "wash-out" period. (For patients whose last claim in 2006 was seen after December 1, 2006 enrollment into 2007 to look for further treatment and the 45 day "wash-out" period will be required.)
