Form CMS-2728 data versus erythropoietin claims data: implications for quality of care studies.
The purpose of this study was to compare predialysis erythropoietin-simulating agents (ESA) care reported on Form CMS-2728 with Medicare claims for ESA treatment submitted for patients 67 years and older at initiation of dialysis with Medicare as the primary payer. It found that the agreement between Form CMS-2728 and claims data is poor and discordant results are observed when comparing the use of these data sources to predict health outcomes.

Medicare and commercial inpatient resource use: impact of hospital competition.
The authors examined the influence of hospital competition on small-area inpatient resource use by payer. Using HCUP data, they found that policies or incentives that promote or encourage competition in less competitive markets may reduce variation in resource use for both Medicare and private payers.

Patterns of erythropoiesis-stimulating agent use among Medicare beneficiaries with myelodysplastic syndromes and consistency with clinical guidelines.
The researchers used SEER registries data to assess population-based patterns of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) use relative to treatment guidelines. They found widespread use of ESA in Medicare beneficiaries with myelodysplastic syndromes.
