The predictive ability of EQ-5D-3L compared to the Lace index and its association with 30-day post-hospitalization outcomes
The Interplay Between Continuity of Care, Multimorbidity, and Adverse Events in Patients With Diabetes
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of continuity of care and multimorbidity on health outcomes in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using a US claims database of insured patients, we identified those with incident diabetes between 2004 and 2008 and followed them until death, disenrollment, or December 31, 2010. Continuity of care was defined using Breslau's Usual Provider of Continuity (UPC; proportion of visits to the usual or predominant…
Weight Loss and Outcomes in Wait-listed, Medically Managed, and Surgically Treated Patients Enrolled in a Population-based Bariatric Program: Prospective Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary bariatric care is increasingly being delivered in Canada within publicly funded regional programs. Demand is high, wait lists are long, and clinical effectiveness is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To examine the "real-world" outcomes associated with a publicly funded, population-based regional bariatric (medical and surgical) program. RESEARCH DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort. SUBJECTS: Five hundred consecutive patients…
Changes in Thiazolidinedione Use and Outcomes Following Removal of a Prior-authorization Policy: Controlled Time-Series Analysis
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of removing prior-authorization restrictions on the use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and outcomes. METHODS: In a controlled interrupted time-series analysis, whereby new users of antidiabetic agents over 65 years of age in adjacent Canadian provinces with different TZD-related policies [Alberta (n = 16,653) and Saskatchewan (n = 6682)] were followed from January 2001 to December 2006. Prio…
Characteristics of the population eligible for and receiving publicly funded bariatric surgery in Canada
The proportion of bariatric surgery-eligible Canadians that undergo publicly funded bariatric surgery is very low. There are notable differences in sociodemographic profiles and prevalence of comorbidities between surgery-eligible subjects and surgical recipients
Understanding the Determinants of Health for People With Type 2 Diabetes
Objective. We assessed which of a broad range of determinants of health are most strongly associated with health-related quality of life (HRQL) among people with type 2 diabetes. Methods. Our analysis included respondents from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.1 (2000–2001) who were aged 18 years and older and who were identified as having type 2 diabetes. We used regression analyses to assess the associations between the Health Utilit…
Lack of Association Between Mortality and Timing of Surgical Fixation in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture: Results of a Retrospective Population-Based Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: Conventional wisdom suggests high-quality care for most patients with hip fractures is surgical fixation within 24 hours to reduce mortality and complications, although there is little evidence to support this standard. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the relationship between timing of hip fracture surgery and early mortality. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: This was a retrospective population-based cohort study of 3981 patients with hip frac…
