Frequency of breast biopsy and breast cancer diagnosis in central Connecticut--trends from 1993 to 1997.

The frequency of diagnosed breast cancer at Hartford Hospital has risen 75% from 1993 to 1997 (153 vs 87 cases during January-March 1997 as compared to January-March 1993). During the same intervals the frequency of breast biopsies performed also increased 45% (455 vs 312 biopsies). The rate of "positive" biopsies has increased slightly (27.9%, 28.3%, 31.5%, 30.7%, and 33.6% for the first three months of each year 1993 to 1997, respectively). When stratified into thirds based on decreasing practice activity of Hartford Hospital surgeons with regard to breast surgery, the "positive" biopsy rates were 28.7%, 31.2%, and 33.0% respectively. Local breast cancer incidence is rising, however surgeons are not "overusing" breast biopsy as compared to recent past practice despite the fact that many more breast biopsies are now being performed.

Mortality among blacks living in census tracts with public housing projects in Hartford, Connecticut.

OBJECTIVE: The study examined mortality among blacks (African Americans) living in census tracts with a large public housing project(s). DESIGN: Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), or the ratios of observed to expected numbers of deaths, from all causes and from selected specific causes were analyzed. SETTING: SMRs were analyzed for 1988-91 for blacks in four census tracts in Hartford, CT. Expected numbers of deaths were based on age-specific death rates for all blacks in the city. RESULTS: The SMR for all causes of death combined was statistically significantly elevated for black male (but not black female) residents of the four census tracts combined, due in part to statistically significantly elevated SMRs for both cancer and cardiovascular diseases (and for the subcategory of coronary heart disease). However, differences in SMRs for black males were evident among the four census tracts, which did not appear to be explained by differences in black poverty rates among these tracts. CONCLUSION: Research is needed on quality of life and health care among black residents of different housing projects in Hartford, and in other U.S. cities.
