  • Inequalities in Hospitalized Unintentional Injury Between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Children in New South Wales, Australia

    Holger Möller, Kathleen Falster et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2016Cited by: 4References: 34

    Objectives. To quantify inequalities in rates of unintentional injury–related hospitalizations between Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children. Methods. We used linked hospital and mortality data to construct a retrospective whole-of-population birth cohort including 1 124 717 children born in the state of New South Wales, Australia, between July 1, 2000 and December 31, 2012. We adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of first injury hospitalizat…

  • Exploring disparities in acute myocardial infarction events between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians

    Open AccessDeborah Randall, D A Randall et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2014References: 3

    We investigated disparities in rates of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the 199 Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) in New South Wales, Australia. Using routinely collected and linked hospital and mortality data from 2002 to 2007, we developed multilevel Poisson regression models to estimate the relative rates of first AMI events in the study period accounting for area of residence. Rates of AMI in Abo…

  • OP08 Using Linked Administrative Data and Multilevel Modelling to Identify Targets for Interventions to Tackle Health Disparities

    Louisa Jorm, L R Jorm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013Cited by: 1

    Background Linked administrative data for whole populations, combined with multilevel modelling methods, offers a powerful approach to identifying targets for tackling health disparities. Two studies will be presented, examining disparities between Australian Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, in very different outcomes: (i) revascularisation and mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI); and (ii) rates of serious road traffic injury. …

  • Mortality after admission for acute myocardial infarction in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in New South Wales, Australia

    Open AccessDeborah Randall, Deborah A Randall et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Improving access to larger hospitals and those with specialist cardiac facilities could improve outcomes following AMI for all patients. However, major efforts to boost primary and secondary prevention of AMI are required to reduce the mortality gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people

  • P2-252 Short- and long-term mortality of aboriginal people after hospital admission for ischaemic heart disease

    Deborah Randall, Louisa Jorm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction The health of Australian Aboriginal people is worse than that of non-Aboriginal people across every conceivable indicator. Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of premature death. We aimed to determine whether short- and long-term mortality after hospitalisation for IHD was higher for Aboriginal than non-Aboriginal patients, in order to guide interventions to reduce the mortality gap. Method New South Wales hospital data …

  • P1-220 How do in-hospital and 30-day post discharge hospital mortality measures compare? An Australian perspective

    Sanja Lujic, Louisa Jorm et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction The hospital standardised mortality ratio (HSMR) has been used internationally to help support improvements in hospital quality of care. Most commonly, HSMRs are computed using only in-hospital deaths, influenced by length of stay. Following a major review, the National Health Service in England recommended that HSMR calculations include both in- and 30-day post-discharge mortality. Our study investigated the relationship between the…
