Afghanistan: is the role of Pakistan’s intelligence apparatus overstated?." The Round Table, 110(6), pp. 734–735
New Public Governance in health care
The New Public Governance (NPG) paradigm addresses problems of complex and fragmented policy‐making. Health care is an increasingly complex policy area, and Canada has one of the most fragmented health care systems in the world. The theoretical articulation of NPG is compelling, and seems well suited to Canadian health care. However, it is not clear how these concepts could be applied to health care. We use the case of Health Technology Assessmen…
Should We Enhance the Commonly Used Deprivation Index for a Regional Context
Predicting hospitalization among HIV-infected antiretroviral naïve patients starting Haart
In the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), hospitalization as a measure of morbidity has become of increasing interest. The objectives of this study were to determine clinical predictors of hospitalization among HIV-infected persons initiating HAART and to explore the impact of gender and drug use on hospitalization. The analysis was based on a cohort of HIV-positive individuals initiating HAART between 1996 and 2001. Information…

The case for expanding access to highly active antiretroviral therapy to curb the growth of the HIV epidemic
Do Longer Delays for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Contribute to Preoperative Mortality in Less Urgent Patients
BACKGROUND: Priority wait lists are common for managing access to cardiac surgery in publicly funded health systems. We evaluated whether longer delays contribute to the probability of death before surgery among patients prioritized into the less urgent category. METHODS: We studied records of 9233 patients registered for isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in British Columbia, Canada. The primary outcome was death before surgery. We est…
Psychological Distress and Cancer Survival
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the predictive role of psychological distress in cancer survival, while attempting to overcome several important methodological and statistical limitations that have clouded the issue. METHODS: Measures collected on a range of emotional and cognitive factors in the early postdiagnostic period and at 4-month intervals up to 15 months after diagnosis were used to predict survival time up to 10 years among 205 cancer pat…
