<h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether cancer risk differs in people with and without multiple sclerosis (MS), we compared incidence rates cancer-specific mortality MS matched cohorts using population-based data sources. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted a retrospective cohort study administrative from Manitoba Ontario, Canada. applied validated case definition to identify cases, then selected 5 controls on birth year, sex, region. linked these registries, estimated of breast, colorectal, 13...
Background Thoracic aortic dissections (TADs) and thoracic aneurysms (TAAs) are resource intensive. We sought to determine economic burden healthcare use guide health policy. Methods Results Using universal coverage data for Ontario, Canada, from 2003 2016, a cost-of-illness analysis was performed. From single-payer's perspective, direct costs (hospitalization, reinterventions, readmissions, rehabilitation, extended care, home prescription drugs, imaging) were assessed in 2017 Canadian...
Do female adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have a higher risk of subsequent infertility diagnosis than AYAs without cancer?Female breast, hematological, thyroid melanoma diagnosis.Cancer therapies improved substantially, leading to dramatic increases in survival. As survival improves, there is an increasing emphasis on optimizing the quality life among survivors. Many increase infertility, but we lack population-based studies that quantify non-gynecological cancers. The...
The risk of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is increased in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, with the prevalence depending on diagnosis, treatment, patient factors. Prior studies are limited by sample size type included. objective this study was to assess POI female AYA survivors non-gynecologic cancers, using a population-based approach.This retrospective cohort comprises 21,666 females, 15-39 years old, diagnosed single Ontario, Canada from 1995 2015. Through health...
<h3>Background:</h3> Endometriosis, a prevalent condition among females of reproductive age, may be associated with increased risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) through chronic inflammation and early menopause. The objective this study was to estimate the association between endometriosis subsequent CVD. <h3>Methods:</h3> We conducted population-based cohort using administrative health data from Ontario residents 1993 2015. compared incidence CVD outcomes 2 age-matched without endometriosis....
The multiple sclerosis (MS) population's survival from breast cancer and colorectal is compromised. Cancer screening timely diagnoses affect have not been studied in the MS population. We investigated whether diagnostic route, stage, or interval differed patients with without MS.We conducted a matched population-based cross-sectional study of (2007-2015) cancers (2009-2012) Ontario, Canada using administrative data. Exclusion criteria included second concurrent primary cancers, no healthcare...
While survival after hematological malignancies in adolescent and young adult patients is improving, report poor oncofertility care. This population-based, retrospective, cohort study used data from the Ontario Cancer Registry billing codes to identify fertility consultations for lymphoma between 2000 2018. Consultation trends across time different patient physician characteristics were analyzed. We identified 2088 a consultation rate of 3.4% (increasing 1% 2000-2006 8% 2014-2018). Patient...
Our objective was to compare the short-term outcomes by type of surgical management endometriosis in Ontario, Canada and characterize population women undergoing endometriosis.We conducted a population-based cohort study including aged 18-50 years same-day or inpatient surgery for from 1 April 2002 through 31 March 2018. Surgery classified as minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH), total abdominal (TAH) minor major conservative (uterus-preserving) surgery. Outcomes examined included length...
To test the hypotheses that overall survival and cancer-specific after breast cancer diagnosis would be lower in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) as compared to without MS using a retrospective matched cohort design.We applied validated case definition population-based administrative data Manitoba Ontario, Canada, identify women MS. We linked cohorts registries cancer. Then we selected 4 controls on birth year, region. all-cause between Cox proportional hazards regression adjusting for...
We tested the hypothesis that overall and cancer-specific survival after a colorectal cancer diagnosis is lower in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) than those without MS using retrospective matched cohort design.Using population-based administrative data Manitoba Ontario, we identified from validated case definition linked these cohorts to registries identify cancer. selected MS, matching 4:1 on birth year, sex, region. used Cox proportional hazards regression compare all-cause between...
Individuals with rectal cancer require a number of pretreatment investigations, often multidisciplinary treatment, and ongoing follow-ups after treatment is completed. Due to the complexity treatments, large variations in practice patterns outcomes have been identified. At present, few comprehensive, population-level data sets are available for assessing interventions this group.Our study aims create comprehensive database individuals who treated single-payer, universal health care system....
Abstract Background Chronic pain management is challenging for health systems worldwide. Clinical practice guidelines recommend interprofessional chronic management, but clinics often have lengthy wait-lists. Advanced physiotherapists (APP) in orthopedic and emergency departments provided effective care reduced wait times. The purpose of this study to determine the feasibility a clinical trial evaluate effects integrating an APP into clinic setting. primary objectives are as follows: (1)...
20 Background: Individuals with rectal cancer require a number of pre-treatment investigations to determine the local-regional and overall stage disease. Stage determines treatment plan; therefore incomplete or inadequate staging may result in sub-optimal care outcomes. Methods: This is population based study all individuals undergoing surgical resection for Ontario, Canada (population 14.6 million) between 2010 2019. were identified using Ontario Cancer Registry which includes approximately...
