Emergency department visits for traumatic hand and wrist injuries in Ontario, Canada
Effect of race, gender identity, and their intersection on career satisfaction
PURPOSE: Ensuring a representative workforce is a matter of equity and social justice and has implications for patient care and population health. We examined the relationship of the binary gender identity and race of physicians who felt comfortable to self-identify, with workplace experiences and career satisfaction in academic medicine. METHODS: The outcome of interest of a cross-sectional survey of full-time clinical faculty members within the…
Perspectives of patients with depression and chronic pain about bone health after a fragility fracture
BACKGROUND: Compromised bone health is often associated with depression and chronic pain. OBJECTIVE: To examine: (1) the experience of existing depression and chronic nonfracture pain in patients with a fragility fracture; and (2) the effects of the fracture on depression and pain. DESIGN: A phenomenological study guided by Giorgi's analytical procedures. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Fracture patients who reported taking prescription medication for …
Variations in Processes of Care and Outcomes for Hospitalized General Medicine Patients Treated by Female vs Male Physicians
In this cross-sectional study of patients admitted to general medical units in Canada, patients cared for by female physicians had lower mortality rates than those treated by male physicians, adjusting for patient characteristics. This finding was nonsignificant after adjustment for other physician characteristics

A Population-Based Nested Case-Control Study of the Costs of Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
BACKGROUND: Studies of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have not evaluated the costs and outcomes in the context of expected arthritis worsening. OBJECTIVES: Using a cost-consequence approach, to examine changes in direct health care costs and arthritis severity after TJA for hip/knee arthritis compared with contemporaneous changes in matched controls. RESEARCH DESIGN: Case control study nested in a population-based prospective cohort. SUBJECTS: In…
Access to Osteoporosis Treatment is Critically Linked to Access to Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Testing
OBJECTIVE: To determine if inequities in access to osteoporosis investigation [dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) testing] and treatment (bisphosphonate, calcitonin, and/or raloxifene) exist among older women in a region with universal health care coverage. METHODS: Community-dwelling women aged 65-89 years residing within 2 regions of Ontario, Canada were randomly sampled. Data were collected by standardized telephone interview. Potential co…
Determining the Need for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Area variation in the use of surgical interventions such as arthroplasty is viewed as concerning and inappropriate. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether area arthroplasty rates reflect patient-related demand factors, we estimated the need for and the willingness to undergo arthroplasty in a high- and a low-use area of Ontario, Canada. RESEARCH DESIGN: Population-based mail and telephone survey. SUBJECTS: All adults aged > or =55 years in …
Physician Enthusiasm As an Explanation for Area Variation in the Utilization of Knee Replacement Surgery
BACKGROUND: Explanations for regional variation in the use of many medical and surgical treatments is controversial. OBJECTIVES: To identify factors that might be amenable to intervention, we investigated the determinants of regional variation in the use of knee replacement surgery. RESEARCH DESIGN: We examined the effect of the following factors: characteristics and opinions of surgeons; family physicians and rheumatologists; patients' severity …
