Global, regional, national, and selected subnational levels of stillbirths, neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality, 1980–2015
BACKGROUND: Established in 2000, Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG4) catalysed extraordinary political, financial, and social commitments to reduce under-5 mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. At the country level, the pace of progress in improving child survival has varied markedly, highlighting a crucial need to further examine potential drivers of accelerated or slowed decreases in child mortality. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 …
Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys) for 315 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (Hale), 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: Healthy life expectancy (HALE) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) provide summary measures of health across geographies and time that can inform assessments of epidemiological patterns and health system performance, help to prioritise investments in research and development, and monitor progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aimed to provide updated HALE and DALYs for geographies worldwide and evaluate ho…
Global, regional, and national levels of maternal mortality, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: In transitioning from the Millennium Development Goal to the Sustainable Development Goal era, it is imperative to comprehensively assess progress toward reducing maternal mortality to identify areas of success, remaining challenges, and frame policy discussions. We aimed to quantify maternal mortality throughout the world by underlying cause and age from 1990 to 2015. METHODS: We estimated maternal mortality at the global, regional, …
Measuring the health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries
BACKGROUND: In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis of 33 health-related SDG indicators based on the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015). METHODS: We applied statistical methods to systematically compiled data to estimate the performance of…
Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015
BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigation of observed and expected mortality patterns bas…
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we estimated the incidence, prevalence, and years liv…
Using the Johns Hopkins Aggregated Diagnosis Groups (ADGs) to Predict Mortality in a General Adult Population Cohort in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Administrative healthcare databases are increasingly used for health services and comparative effectiveness research. When comparing outcomes between different treatments, interventions, or exposures, the ability to adjust for differences in the risk of the outcome occurring between treatment groups is important. Similarly, when conducting healthcare provider profiling, adequate risk-adjustment is necessary for conclusions about provi…

In the Name of Diversity
National Liberation, Neoliberalism, and Educational Change
Racial Identity, the Apartheid State, and the Limits of Political Mobilization and Democratic Reform in South Africa
In this article I examine how a so-called "bush" college designated under Apartheid for the education of Coloured (mixed-race) students contributed to the radicalization of South Africa's Western Cape region. The creation of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) was part of an Apartheid divide and rule strategy to inhibit the development of political alliances between mixed-race and indigenous African peoples. However, in 1982, UWC rejected th…
Hospitalization for Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Conditions
On Becoming 65 in Ontario
Objectives. The authors assess (1) the effects of first-dollar prescription drug insurance coverage provided by the Ontario Drug Benefit plan at age 65 on prescription drug use by seniors, and (2) the differential effects of this coverage on prescription drug use by seniors with varying levels of health status. Methods. The authors modeled self-reported prescription drug use contained in the 1990 Ontario Health Survey as a function of eligibility…
Hospital Restructuring and the Epidemiology of Hospital Utilization
OBJECTIVES: The author highlights changes in hospital utilization that have occurred in association with restructuring of Ontario hospitals. The basic features of the epidemiology of hospital utilization described link the analysis of the organizational and structural components of hospitals with a more comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of their restructuring and have implications for international comparative studies. METHODS: Data from th…
Recent Findings On Preventable Hospitalizations
Disparities in health outcomes for low-income populations as documented by rates of preventable hospital admission remains large in the United States, even with the moderate expansion of Medicaid and efforts at the state and local levels to improve primary care services that began in the mid-1980s. These differences in outcome for rich and poor are not an isolated phenomenon of a few old and decaying Northeast urban centers but are documented in …

A Comparison of Cost-Sharing Versus Free Care in Children
Using data from the community based RAND Health Insurance Experiment, the effect of cost-sharing versus free care on the use of office-based medical care in children was examined. Children from families on cost-sharing plans had a 22 percent lower probability (P less than 0.005) of having an episode of care during the study year. Both the number of episodes of care and total charges for outpatient professional services were 30 percent lower (P le…

Regionalization of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) has been regionalized in the province of Ontario since the introduction of the procedure in the 1970s. The authors examined the effect of regionalization on the age-adjusted surgery rates in the 38 counties of southern Ontario and found that county surgical rates were not related to whether the county had a referral center, bordered on a county with a referral center, or did not border on such a county (R2 = …
