The impact of testing positive versus negative for Covid-19 on health-related quality of life: Cross-sectional evidence from the Alberta post-Covid-19 follow-up survey
The novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) can have lasting physical and psychological outcomes, though little is known about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Canadians. The aim of this study is to estimate the impacts of testing positive for COVID-19 using the EQ-5D-5 L instrument. Our study is a secondary analysis of data collected in the Alberta POST-COVID-19 Follow-up Study, linking survey r…
Human papillomavirus vaccination patterns among youth aged 16–26 in the context of publicly-funded eligibility changes: A retrospective cross-sectional study from Alberta, Canada
Expansion to an age-based HPV vaccination program may have mitigated pandemic-related declines in vaccination rates among older youth, though overall administration remained low. Results highlight persistent inequities by sex and geography, and underscore the importance of targeted promotion, improved service delivery, and expanded provider engagement to optimize HPV vaccine uptake outside school-based settings
Rising out-of-hospital mortality in Canada during 2020‒2022: A striking impact observed among young adults
Sex and gender aspects in diabetes mellitus: Focus on access to health care and cardiovascular outcomes
Aims: The aim of this study was to elucidate whether sex and gender factors influence access to health care and/or are associated with cardiovascular (CV) outcomes of individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) across different countries. Methods: Using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (8.4% of respondent reporting DM) and the European Health Interview Survey (7.3% of respondents reporting DM), were analyzed. Self-reported sex and a com…
Unsupervised item response theory models for assessing sample heterogeneity in patient-reported outcomes measures
PCTree and MixPCM were not consistent in detecting covariates associated with differential interpretations of PROM items. Future research will use computer simulations to assess these models' Type I error and statistical power for identifying covariates associated with DIF
Response shift in coronary artery disease
Predicting the Risk Factors Associated With Severe Outcomes Among Covid-19 Patients–Decision Tree Modeling Approach
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a large surge in case numbers over several waves, and has critically strained the health care system, with a significant number of cases requiring hospitalization and ICU admission. This study used a decision tree modeling approach to identify the most important predictors of severe outcomes among COVID-19 patients. Methods: May 2021. Demographic information, symptoms and co-morbidities were extracted fr…

Cardiovascular health through a sex and gender lens in six South Asian countries: Findings from the WHO STEPS surveillance
Background: Sex and gender-based differences in cardiovascular health (CVH) has been explored in the context of high-income countries. However, these relationships have not been examined in low- and middle-income countries. The main aim of this study was to examine how sex and gender-related factors are associated with cardiovascular risk factors of people in South Asian countries. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the World Healt…
Identification and inclusion of gender factors in retrospective cohort studies: The Going-FWD framework
Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men and gender diverse people. Gender-related factors are seldom assessed as determinants of health outcomes, despite their powerful contribution. The Gender Outcomes INternational Group: to Further Well-being Development (GOING-FWD) project developed a standard five-step methodology applicable to retrospectively identify gender-related …
Determinants of perceived health and unmet healthcare needs in universal healthcare systems with high gender equality
The intersection of sex and social factors in influencing patient-relevant outcomes varies even among countries with similar healthcare and high gender equality
Measurement invariance of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire in coronary artery disease
Trajectories of perceived social support in acute coronary syndrome
Believability of messages about preventing breast cancer and heart disease through physical activity
Active women likely internalized messages about heart disease prevention through physical activity, making the prevention messages more readily available within memory, and active women may therefore process such information differently. The study of how health-related beliefs are created and are related to perceptions of prevention messages is a rich area of study that may contribute to more effective health promotion
Taking a hard look at the Heart Truth campaign in Canada: A discourse analysis
The Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation launched the Heart Truth campaign to increase women's awareness of heart disease. However, little is known about how such campaigns intersect with broader understandings of gender and health. This discourse analysis examined the construction of gender, risk, and prevention within campaign material. Two primary discourses emerged: one of acceptable femininity, which outlines whose risk, survivorship, and pr…

Development and Validation of a Surname List to Define Chinese Ethnicity
OBJECTIVE: Surnames have the potential to accurately identify ancestral origins as they are passed on from generation to generation. In this study, we developed and validated a Chinese surname list to define Chinese ethnicity. METHODS: We conducted a literature review, a panel review, and a telephone survey in a randomly selected sample from a Canadian city in 2003 to develop a Chinese surname list. The list was then validated to data from the Ca…
