  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214293
    Description:

    The University of Wisconsin Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network breast cancer microsimulation model was adapted to simulate breast cancer incidence and screening performance in Canada. The model considered effects of breast density on the sensitivity and specificity of screening. The model’s ability to predict age-specific incidence of breast cancer was assessed.

  • Articles and reports: 82-622-X2015009
    Description:

    The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) represents a collaborative effort between Statistics Canada and the thirteen provincial and territorial cancer registries to create a single database to report annually on cancer incidence and survival at the national and jurisdictional level. While gains have been made to ensure high quality, standardized, and comparable data, the CCR currently lacks information on cancer treatment. The Canadian Council of Cancer Registries (CCCR) identified the need to capture treatment data at the national level as a key strategic priority for 2013/2014. Record linkage was identified as one possible approach to fill this information gap.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of using record linkage to add cancer treatment information for selected cancers: breast, colorectal and prostate. The objectives are twofold: to assess the quality of the linkage processes and the validity of using linked data to estimate cancer treatment rates at the provincial level. The study is based on the Canadian Cancer Registry (2005 to 2008) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) for four provinces (Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island). The linkage was proposed by Statistics Canada, the CCCR and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). The linkage was approved and conducted at Statistics Canada.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114218
    Description:

    This article presents the latest national and provincial flu vaccination rates from the 2013–2014 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and compares them with the previous 12 years. Rates are also provided for two groups at high risk of complications from the flu: seniors aged 65 and over and those under 65 with select chronic conditions.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114213
    Description:

    This article highlights national data on the number of newly diagnosed cases of childhood cancer (incidence) and the number of deaths attributed to cancer (mortality) in children under the age of 15. Incidence data are explored by age, sex and the five most commonly diagnosed groups of childhood cancer. Due to the low number of cancer cases, five years of data, between 2006 and 2010, were combined to report the most recent results.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114212
    Description:

    This article presents relative survival ratios for ovarian cancer at the national level. Data from the Canadian Cancer Registry are used to estimate ratios for one, five and ten year survival, by age at diagnosis and over time.

    The time period is from 1992—1994 to 2006—2008.

  • Stats in brief: 89-654-X2015002
    Description:

    This document contains survey results on the number of persons with memory disabilities, prevalence of disability, memory disabilities by age, co-occuring disabilities, educational attainment and experiences as well as employment, memory disabilities in the work place, job modifications, hours worked, not in the labour force, job search barriers, help with everyday activities and income, for Canada.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500714204
    Description:

    The objective of this study was to determine if the prevalence of overweight and obesity is associated with neighbourhood walkability. The analysis tested whether a dose-response relationship between the Street Smart Walk Score® and various measures of physical activity, overweight, and obesity existed in a large, population-based sample of adults in urban and suburban Ontario.

    Description:

    The 2012/2013 Canadian Health Measures Survey collected audiometric and self-reported data to estimate the prevalence of hearing loss and limitations in a population-based sample of Canadians. This study presents an analysis of CHMS audiometric and self-reported hearing data for adults aged 20 to 79.
