Recurrent Adverse Health Events

Motivation The dataset was created to support research on the effect of time-varying exposures on recurrent adverse health events, particularly in the context of Medicare beneficiaries. It enables investigators to study how changes in exposures over time influence repeated adverse clinical outcomes and their relationship with dependent terminal events such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). Access and Usage These datasets are restricted-use due to the inclusion of sensitive and identifiable health information. As such, the data files themselves cannot be shared via this Dataverse entry. Students, post-docs, and researchers conducting NSAPH-related research in collaboration with PIs at Harvard or affiliated institutions may gain access to the data, provided they have submitted a project initiation form, are listed on an approved IRB protocol, and have completed all required data security trainings. Note: No data files are included in this entry. This documentation serves as a reference to the analytical data files generated from the processed CMS data.
