Outcomes of Secondary Prevention among Coronary Heart Disease Patients in a High-Risk Region in Finland
Despite comprehensive national treatment guidelines, goals for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) have not been sufficiently met everywhere in Finland. We investigated the recorded risk factor rates of CHD and their spatial differences in North Karelia Hospital District, which has a very high cardiovascular burden, in order to form a general view of the state of secondary prevention in a high-risk region. Appropriate disease cod…
The usefulness of small-area-based socioeconomic characteristics in assessing the treatment outcomes of type 2 diabetes patients
Our comparative study of three SES factors shows that the effects of attained education on the treatment outcomes are rather similar, regardless of whether patient-based or small-area-based predictors are used. Small-area-based SES variables can be a good way to overcome the absence of individual SES information, but further research is needed to find the valid small-area factors by disease. This possibility of using more small-area-based data wo…
