Trends in acute coronary syndrome hospitalisation, incidence and mortality rates in young adults
BACKGROUND: Australian and international studies have reported an attenuation in previous declines in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events in young adults. This study examines temporal trends in admission, mortality and incidence rates for ACS in men and women aged <55 years using multijurisdictional data for 2007-2016. METHODS: This population-based linked data study used hospital and mortality records from New South Wales, Western Australia and…
Invasive Coronary Angiography after Chest Pain Presentations to Emergency Departments
We investigated patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with chest pain to identify factors that influence the use of invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Using linked ED, hospitalisations, death and cardiac biomarker data, we identified people aged 20 years and over who presented with chest pain to tertiary public hospital EDs in Western Australia from 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2017 (ED chest pain cohort). We report patient character…
Patterns of Medicare-funded primary health and specialist consultations in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians in the two years before hospitalisation for ischaemic heart disease
Despite being over-represented in urgent/semi-urgent ED presentations and admissions for IHD, Aboriginal people were under-resourced compared with the rest of the population, particularly in terms of specialist care prior to first IHD hospitalisation. The findings underscore the need for better primary and specialist shared care delivery models particularly for Aboriginal people
A cohort study
Between 2000 and 2009, the prevalence of HF antecedents increased and remained disproportionately higher in Aboriginal (versus non-Aboriginal) HF patients. Risk-adjusted 1-year mortality did not improve in Aboriginal patients over the period in contrast with non-Aboriginal patients. These findings highlight the need for better prevention and post-HF care in Aboriginal Australians
Disparities experienced by Aboriginal compared to non-Aboriginal metropolitan Western Australians in receiving coronary angiography following acute ischaemic heart disease
The disproportionate under-management of older Aboriginal IHD patients is of particular concern. Regardless of age, the disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians in receiving angiography for acute IHD in a metropolitan setting is mediated substantially by comorbidities. This constellation of health problems is a 'double-whammy' for Aboriginal people, predisposing them to IHD and also adversely impacting on their receipt of angio…
P2-169 Do mental health clients lack access to general practitioner services
Introduction Emerging evidence indicates an association between mental illness and low-intensity of physical healthcare. To test this, we compared rates of visits to a general practitioner (GP) between mental health clients (MHCs) and non-MHCs. Methods Population-based retrospective cohort study of 204 727 MHCs and 294 076 matched non-MHCs in Western Australia from 1 January 1990 to 30 June 2006, based on linked records of the use of mental healt…
P2-168 Mental illness related disparities in potentially preventable hospitalisations
Introduction Emerging evidence indicates the association between mental illness and poor quality of physical healthcare. To test this, we compared mental health clients (MHCs) with non-MHCs for the quality of primary care, using potentially preventable hospitalisations (PPHs) as an indicator. Methods Population-based retrospective cohort study of 139 208 MHCs and 294 180 matched non-MHCs in Western Australia from 1990 to 2006, using linked data o…
P2-167 Mental illness related disparities in diabetes prevalence, quality of care and outcomes
Introduction To compare the prevalence of diabetes, quality of care and outcomes between mental health clients (MHCs) and non-MHCs. Methods Population-based longitudinal study of 139 208 MHCs and 294 180 matched non-MHCs in Western Australia (WA) from 1990 to 2006, using linked data of WA State mental health registry, electoral roll registrations, hospital admissions, emergency department attendances, deaths, and Commonwealth Medicare and pharmac…
Mortality in Western Australian seniors with chronic respiratory diseases
Older patients with CRD not using ICS experienced the worst survival in this study and may benefit from an escalation in therapeutic regime. Males had a higher risk of death than females, which was more pronounced in the highest pharmacotherapy level group. Hence, primary health care should more actively direct disease management to mild-to-moderate disease patients
