  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200600003
    Description:

    Canadian immigrants from countries where the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are endemic may be at higher risk of liver-related disease than Canadian-born residents. This study compared HBV- and HCV-related hospitalizations in Canadian immigrants (arriving from 1980 to 2013) and long-term residents (Canadian-born population and pre-1980 immigrants) and aimed to describe the burden of disease in both groups.

    Description:

    This study provides new evidence on TB-related hospitalizations among new immigrants to Canada. It uses a unique linked data file (2000-to-2013 Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB) linked to the Canadian Institute for Health Information's Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) from 2001/2002 to 2013/2014) that brings together information from immigrant landing records and hospital data for a maximum of 13 years to identify a TB-related hospital event after landing. Specifically, this paper provides a profile of the timing of TB-related acute care hospitalization, starting from the time of landing among immigrants who officially landed in Canada from 2000 to 2013, as well as an estimation of the burden of TB hospital care in Canada incurred by these recent immigrants relative to the total Canadian population.

  • Articles and reports: 11-633-X2018016
    Description:

    Record linkage has been identified as a potential mechanism to add treatment information to the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR). The purpose of the Canadian Cancer Treatment Linkage Project (CCTLP) pilot is to add surgical treatment data to the CCR. The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) were linked to the CCR, and surgical treatment data were extracted. The project was funded through the Cancer Data Development Initiative (CDDI) of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC).

    The CCTLP was developed as a feasibility study in which patient records from the CCR would be linked to surgical treatment records in the DAD and NACRS databases, maintained by the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The target cohort to whom surgical treatment data would be linked was patients aged 19 or older registered on the CCR (2010 through 2012). The linkage was completed in Statistics Canada’s Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE).

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201700614829
    Description:

    POHEM-BMI is a microsimulation tool that includes a model of adult body mass index (BMI) and a model of childhood BMI history. This overview describes the development of BMI prediction models for adults and of childhood BMI history, and compares projected BMI estimates with those from nationally representative survey data to establish validity.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201600114308
    Description:

    This article explores deaths in Canada that involved sepsis, a serious medical condition caused by an overwhelming immune response to an infection. Sepsis-associated mortality rates are presented over time and by sex, age and underlying cause of death. The article uses multiple-causes-of-death data from the Canadian Vital Statistics – Death Database. Data from the years 2000 to 2011 are used when discussing changes over time.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114246
    Description:

    This article highlights findings regarding chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database, 1950 to 2011. Results are analysed by sex, age and underlying cause of death.

  • 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.

  • Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114095
    Description:

    This article examines incidence and mortality rates for the three most common types of female reproductive system cancer — uterus, ovary and cervix. Data from the Canadian Cancer Registry and the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database are used to analyze changes over time and differential risk by age.
