Objectives: To evaluate functional outcomes and predictors of an unfavorable outcome in children following a critical illness. Design: Prospective observational longitudinal cohort study. Setting: Two tertiary care, Canadian PICUs: McMaster Children’s Hospital London Health Sciences. Patients: Children 12 months to 17 years old, admitted PICU for at least 48 hours with one or more organ dysfunction, were eligible. Patients not expected survive, direct transfers from neonatal ICU patients...
An intervention, which used elements of the theory planned behavior, was developed and tested in a randomized control trial (RCT) involving households city London, Ontario, Canada. A bespoke methodology direct collection measurement food waste within curbside garbage samples ( n = 58) treatment 54) to evaluate effectiveness intervention. comparison before after intervention revealed that total decreased by 31% decrease significantly greater p .02) than for households. Similarly, avoidable...
Abstract To better understand food wasting behaviour, the theory of planned behaviour was used to inform development a survey which administered households in London, Ontario, Canada. Respondent (n = 1,263) threw out avoidable waste 4.77 times/week (SD 4.81, Mdn 4.0) and 5.89 portions/week 5.66, 4.0). When asked choose one three possible motivators reduce 58.9% selected reducing monetary loss as their first choice this significantly (p < 0.001) higher than both environmental impact...
This study assessed the strength of association between socioeconomic status (SES) and low birth weight (LBW) preterm (PTB) in Southwestern Ontario. Utilizing perinatal neonatal databases at London Health Science Centre, maternal postal codes were entered into a Geographic Information System to determine home neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods defined by dissemination areas (DAs). Median household income for each DA was extracted from latest Canadian Census linked mother. All singleton infants...
Adverse birth outcomes are associated with infant morbidity and mortality an increased likelihood of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Socio- economic status (SES) is one the most reliable predictors health disparities, although association between SES has been studied previously, this is, to our knowledge, first review that encompasses several dimensions their influence on a single article. Our indicates education, income, neighbourhood SES, occupation all...

This research examines geographical accessibility to primary care providers (PCPs) across urban and rural areas of Southwestern Ontario variations in the distribution PCPs relation senior population (aged 65 years older). Information about PCP practices was provided by HealthForceOntario Marketing Recruitment Agency. Population data were obtained from 2016 Census Canada. To calculate scores for (i.e., PCPs/10,000 population), we applied enhanced 2‐step floating catchment area method with...

Objective: To determine the indications and complications of external ventricular drain (EVD) placement in pediatric patients. Design: Retrospective chart review. Setting: University associated, tertiary–level Children's Hospital. Patients: Sixty-six [median age, 10.1 years (interquartile range, 5.9)] patients between 1994 2006 with 96 EVDs. Measurements Results: Clinical for EVD insertion include traumatic brain injury (TBI; 36%), acute hydrocephalus (35%), ventriculoperitoneal shunt...
There is little consensus on the amount of worldwide food waste generation because many current estimates are indirect and link back to same limited primary datasets, with much data originating from fieldwork undertaken in 1970s 1980s. Direct measurement streams, through composition studies, can be used develop accurate disposal. In Ontario, Canada, municipalities that undertake household studies all use a common direct methodology includes broad range categories, including waste. The...
