Analysis

This study presents cancer incidence by stage at diagnosis for the top four cancers, using data from the Canadian Cancer Registry for the combined period of 2011 to 2015.

Record linkage has been identified as a potential mechanism to add treatment information to the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR). The purpose of the Canadian Cancer Treatment Linkage Project (CCTLP) pilot is to add surgical treatment data to the CCR. The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) were linked to the CCR, and surgical treatment data were extracted. The project was funded through the Cancer Data Development Initiative (CDDI) of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC).

The CCTLP was developed as a feasibility study in which patient records from the CCR would be linked to surgical treatment records in the DAD and NACRS databases, maintained by the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The target cohort to whom surgical treatment data would be linked was patients aged 19 or older registered on the CCR (2010 through 2012). The linkage was completed in Statistics Canada’s Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE).

This article presents findings on aerobic fitness and body mass index and the relationship with health-related risk factors such as high blood pressure. Results are presented for adults aged 20 to 59. Data are from the Canadian Health Measures Survey.

This article highlights findings regarding chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from the Canadian Vital Statistics - Death Database, 1950 to 2011. Results are analysed by sex, age and underlying cause of death.

This study compares waist circumference measured using World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health protocols to determine if the results differ significantly, and whether equations can be developed to allow comparison between waist circumference taken at the two different measurement sites.

This article provides an overview of the blood pressure and heart rate collection method used for cycle 1 of the Canadian Health Measures Survey and information about methodologicaland analytical issues faced during the collection and analysis of the blood pressure and heart rate data.

This article describes some of the logistical and operational requirement and procedures employed to perform the clinic component of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
