Objectives: The report describes the strategic design, steps to full implementation and outcomes achieved by Western Australian Data Linkage System (WADLS), instigated in 1995 link up 40 years of data from over 30 collections for an historical population 3.7 million. Staged development has seen its expansion, initially a linkage key local health sets, encompass links national welfare genealogical spatial references mapping applications. Applications: WADLS supported 400 studies with 250...

Supplementary obtained hospital clinician records. <b>Setting</b> Australia, 1982-2003. <b>Participants</b> Women aged <45 a diagnosis conceived....
Objective: To examine the association of mid-life exposure to several psychiatric disorders with development late-life dementia. Methods: A matched case-control study using Western Australian state-wide hospital inpatient, outpatient mental health and emergency records linked death records. Incident dementia cases (2000-2009) aged 65 84 years were sex- age-matched an electoral roll control. Records as far back 1970 used assess medical risk factors before age years. Candidate required be...
Historically, specialist palliative care has been accessed by a greater proportion of people dying with cancer compared to other life-limiting conditions. More recently, variety measures improve access for from non-cancer conditions have implemented. There are few rigorous population-based studies that document changes in service delivery relative the number patients who could benefit such services.A retrospective cohort study last year life persons an underlying cause death 2009-10 cancer,...
Purpose:To describe a 7-year experience with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair using fenestrated Zenith endovascular endografts. Methods:Six surgeons from 7 medical centers in Perth, Western Australia, contributed data to this retrospective study of 58 AAA patients (51 men; mean age 75.5±8.5 years, range 60–94) treated Fenestrations were applied 116 target vessels; more than half had ≥2 vessels. The results based on satisfactory deployment the stent-graft and fenestrations (technical...
To describe techniques for deploying fenestrated stent-grafts that use partial graft deployment and guided tracking of the fenestration to arterial orifice.Fenestrations have been added custom-made tube grafts commercially manufactured Zenith stent-graft systems preserve perfusion aortic side branches. Partial device deployment, orientation markers on endograft, intraoperative angiography enable maneuvering over orifice target vessel with aid guiding catheters. Placement a Palmaz stent...
Abstract Purpose Patient co‐payments for medicines subsidised under the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) increased by 24% in January 2005. We investigated whether this increase and two related co‐payment changes were associated with dispensings of selected Australia. Method analysed national aggregate monthly prescription 17 medicine categories, to represent a range treatments (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, gout). Trends medication from 2000 December 2004 compared...
Background We describe the implementation and impact of a patient blood management program ( PBMP ) in an A ustralian teaching hospital. Study Design Methods was introduced at single tertiary care hospital 2009 as pilot for W estern H ealth D epartment statewide . The first 3 years interventions aimed to make effective use preoperative clinics, manage perioperative anemia, improve hemostasis, reduce sample volumes, implement restrictive transfusion triggers single‐unit policy. Results...
The aim of the study was to use state-wide health administrative data assess incidence, temporal trends, and external cause burn injury-related hospital admissions mortality in Western Australia from 1983 2008. Linked morbidity death for all persons hospitalized with an index injury period 1983-2008 were identified. Annual age-specific incidence age standardized rates estimated. Poisson regression analyses used estimate trends mortality. Zero-truncated negative binomial analysis identify...
Objective: To describe patterns in the use of hospital emergency departments last year life by people who died with dementia and whether this was modified community-based palliative care. Design: Retrospective population-based cohort study their life. Time-to-event analyses were performed using cumulative hazard functions flexible parametric proportional hazards regression models. Setting/participants: All living Western Australia 2-year period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2010 (dementia...
