In light of increasing Canadian immigration levels, an updated analysis of hospitalization patterns among immigrants to Canada, relative to the Canadian-born population, is needed to inform health care system policy and planning. Using immigrant landing administrative data linked to health care data, this descriptive study aims to examine hospitalization rates and leading causes of hospitalization, including mental health in immigrants and the Canadian-born population, stratified by sex and selected immigration characteristics.

Understanding the role of women in Canadian society and how it has changed over time is dependent on having information that can begin to shed light on the diverse circumstances and experiences of women. Women in Canada provides an unparalleled compilation of data related to women's family status, education, employment, economic well-being, unpaid work, health, and more.
Women in Canada allows readers to better understand the experience of women compared to that of men. Recognizing that women are not a homogenous group and that experiences differ not only across gender but also within gender groups, Women in Canada includes chapters on immigrant women, women in a visible minority, Aboriginal women, senior women, and women with participation and activity limitations.

Hospitalization rates are among commonly reported statistics related to health-care service use. The variety of methods for calculating confidence intervals for these and other health-related rates suggests a need to classify, compare and evaluate these methods. Zeno is a tool developed to calculate confidence intervals of rates based on several formulas available in the literature. This report describes the contents of the main sheet of the Zeno Tool and indicates which formulas are appropriate, based on users’ assumptions and scope of analysis.

This study is based on 2006 Census (long-form) socio-demographic information (including Aboriginal identity) that was linked to the Discharge Abstract Database to create a sample for analysis from all provinces and territories except Quebec. The purpose is to provide national figures on acute care hospitalizations of Aboriginal (First Nations living on and off reserve, Métis, Inuit in Inuit Nunangat) and non-Aboriginal people.
Release date: 2016-08-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201600814648Description:

Release date: 2016-08-17 - 7. All-cause and circulatory disease-related hospitalization, by generation status: Evidence from linked data ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201501014227Description:
This study uses data from the 2006 Census of Population (long-form respondents) linked to administrative records to determine if hospitalization patterns among first-generation immigrants persist in the second generation, and if patterns differ between South Asians and Chinese subgroups, when socioeconomic covariates are taken into account.
Release date: 2015-10-21 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201400211902Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on 2004/2005 to 2009/2010 data from the Discharge Abstract Database, this study examines associations between unintentional injury hospitalizations and socio-economic status and location relative to an urban core in Dissemination Areas with a high percentage of First Nations identity residents versus a low percentage of Aboriginal identity residents based on the predominant Aboriginal group.
Release date: 2014-02-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200311699Geography: CanadaDescription:
Rates of unintentional injury hospitalization were calculated for 0- to 19-year-olds in census Dissemination Areas (DAs) where at least 33% of residents reported an Aboriginal identity. DAs were classified as high-percentage First Nations, Métis or Inuit identity based on the predominant group.

Recent trends in hospitalization and mortality attributable to diseases of the circulatory system
Release date: 2005-11-16 - 22. Seniors' health care use ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20050009088Geography: CanadaDescription:
Seniors' health care use provides estimates of the proportions of seniors who consulted medical professionals, took various types of medication, were hospitalized and received home care services. Associations between health status and the use of these forms of health care is examined. The relationship between the use of health care and socio-economic status is also considered.

This paper explores the relationship between low income and prevalence of asthma. The genetic and environmental determinants are incompletely understood. It has been observed in a previous study that Canadians with low incomes are at increased risk of asthma. Based on data from 17,605 subjects 12 years of age or older who participated in the first cycle of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) from 1994 to 1995, males and females with low incomes had 1.44- and 1.33-fold increases, respectively, in the prevalence of asthma compared with their counterparts with high incomes. However, there was no significant difference observed between middle and high income categories. Therefore, it is not clear if there is a more systematic relationship between income adequacy and asthma occurrence. A much larger sample size of the second cycle of the NPHS allowed us to further explore if the prevalence of asthma increases with decreasing income adequacy among Canadians.

Hospitalization with post-operative infection is relatively rare following cholecystectomy, hysterectomy or appendectomy, with 1.4%, 2.0% and 3.8%, respectively, of patients being identified as having an infection within 30 days of surgery. Nonetheless, the costs of readmission for post-operative infection are estimated at $5.4 to $6.3 million annually.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - 25. Inflammatory bowel disease: Hospitalization ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030046975Geography: CanadaDescription:
Since the early 1980s, the overall hospitalization rate in Canada has fallen sharply, but the rate for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been stable. To some degree, this stability during an era of decline reflects the high rate of readmission among IBD patients, with more than 20% having at least two hospital stays during the course of a year.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - 26. Hip and knee replacement ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20020016344Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the substantial increase in the numbers and rates of hip and knee replacements among seniors between 1981-82 and 1998-99, while also looking at the decline in the length of stay for both procedures. This increase in joint replacement surgery was evident for both sexes and in all senior age groups, although rates were consistently higher for women.

Release date: 2002-09-17 - 28. Revascularization and heart attack outcomes ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010026062Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
A year after their heart attack, three-quarters of the 12,271 patients admitted to hospital in 1995/96 in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia had not been revascularized. Rates of revascularization were relatively low for women, the very elderly, and people with other health problems.

The Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS) is the first national study on the incidence of child abuse and neglect reported to, and investigated by, child welfare services in Canada. Prior to this study, available data had been largely limited to police-reported incidents of assault and homicide. However, because of the secrecy that often surrounds cases of child abuse, many cases never come to the attention of the police.

As the population ages, a greater demand for long-term care services and, in particular, nursing homes is expected. Policy analysts continue to search for alternative, less costly forms of care for the elderly and have attempted to develop programs to delay or prevent nursing-home entry. Health care administrators required information for planning the future demand for nursing-home services. This study assesses the relative importance of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics in predicting and understanding nursing-home entry.
