  • Evaluation of the implementation of a medical respite program for persons with lived experience of homelessness

    Peter Hoang, Iffat Naeem et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Distress and…2024

    Medical respite programs (MRPs) constitute a potential strategy to improve the continuum of care for persons who have lived experiences of homeless (PWLEH). A MRP was developed in Alberta, Canada, through a partnership between the provincial health authority (Alberta Health Services) and the province’s largest homeless shelter (Calgary Drop-In Centre). We conducted a qualitative study of 25 stakeholders who held an operational, administrative and…

  • Clinical and Health System Determinants of Venous Thromboembolism Event Rates After Hip Arthroplasty

    Jean-Marie Januel, Jean‐Marie Januel et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2018Referencias: 44

    BACKGROUND: Routinely collected hospital data provide increasing opportunities to assess the performance of health care systems. Several factors may, however, influence performance measures and their interpretation between countries. OBJECTIVE: We compared the occurrence of in-hospital venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing hip replacement across 5 countries and explored factors that could explain differences across these countries. …

  • Deriving ICD-10 Codes for Patient Safety Indicators for Large-scale Surveillance Using Administrative Hospital Data

    Danielle A Southern, Bernard Burnand et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2017Referencias: 19

    BACKGROUND: Existing administrative data patient safety indicators (PSIs) have been limited by uncertainty around the timing of onset of included diagnoses. OBJECTIVE: We undertook de novo PSI development through a data-driven approach that drew upon "diagnosis timing" information available in some countries' administrative hospital data. RESEARCH DESIGN: Administrative database analysis and modified Delphi rating process. SUBJECTS: All hospitali…

  • Implications of design on infection prevention and control practice in a novel hospital unit

    Amanda Vansteelandt, John Conly et al.ARTICLEAnthropology and Medicine2015Referencias: 15

    The physical design of hospital wards is associated with transmission of pathogenic organisms and hospital-acquired infections. A novel hospital unit, the Medical Ward of the 21st Century (W21C), optimizes features for infection prevention and control practices. Ethnographic research on the W21C versus conventional hospital wards examined the experiential and behavioural elements of the different designs. Three recurring themes emerged regarding …

  • The Development, Evolution, and Modifications of ICD-10

    Nathalie Jetté, Hude Quan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010Referencias: 14

    BACKGROUND: The United States is about to make a major nationwide transition from ICD-9-CM coding of hospital discharges to ICD-10-CM, a country-specific modification of the World Health Organization's ICD-10. As this transition occurs, the WHO is already in the midst of developing ICD-11. Given this context, we undertook this review to discuss: (1) the history of the International Classification of Diseases (a core information "building block" f…

    Vijaya Sundararajan, Hude Quan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referencias: 12

    OBJECTIVE: The Charlson comorbidity index has been widely used for risk adjustment in outcome studies using administrative health data. Recently, 3 International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) translations have been published for the Charlson comorbidities. This study was conducted to compare the predictive performance of these versions (the Halfon, Sundararajan, and Quan versions) of the ICD-10 coding algorithms …

    Hude Quan, Fulin Wang et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referencias: 8

    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…

  • Coding Algorithms for Defining Comorbidities in ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 Administrative Data

    Hude Quan, Vijaya Sundararajan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2005Referencias: 13

    OBJECTIVES: Implementation of the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding system presents challenges for using administrative data. Recognizing this, we conducted a multistep process to develop ICD-10 coding algorithms to define Charlson and Elixhauser comorbidities in administrative data and assess the performance of the resulting algorithms. METHODS: ICD-10 coding algorithms…

  • Individual-Level and Neighborhood-Level Income Measures

    Danielle A Southern, Lindsay Mclaren et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2005Referencias: 28

    BACKGROUND: Census-based measures of income often are used as proxies for individual-level income. Yet, the validity of such area-based measures relative to 'true' individual-level income has not been fully characterized. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were (1) to determine whether area-based measures of household income are a suitable proxy for self-reported household income and (2) to assess whether these measures are associated with …

  • Comparison of the Elixhauser and Charlson/Deyo Methods of Comorbidity Measurement in Administrative Data

    Danielle A Southern, Hude Quan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 7

    BACKGROUND: Comorbidity risk adjustment methods have been used widely with administrative data, and the Charlson/Deyo method is perhaps the most commonly used in the literature. However, a new method defined by Elixhauser et al. has been introduced recently and could be superior, although it has not been validated widely. OBJECTIVES: We compared the Charlson/Deyo and Elixhauser methods using Canadian administrative data on patients with myocardia…

    BACKGROUND: The comorbidity variables that constitute the Charlson index are widely used in health care research using administrative data. However, little is known about the validity of administrative data in these comorbidities. The agreement between administrative hospital discharge data and chart data for the recording of information on comorbidity was evaluated. The predictive ability of comorbidity information in the two data sets for predi…
