  • 1. Modelling mammography screening for breast cancer in the Canadian context: Modification and testing of a microsimulation model Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214293
    Description:

    The University of Wisconsin Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network breast cancer microsimulation model was adapted to simulate breast cancer incidence and screening performance in Canada. The model considered effects of breast density on the sensitivity and specificity of screening. The model’s ability to predict age-specific incidence of breast cancer was assessed.

    Release date: 2015-12-16
  • 2. Clinical outcomes of modelling mammography screening strategies Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214294
    Description:

    This analysis employs a validated microsimulation model of breast cancer, adapted to the Canadian context, to predict health outcomes associated with different digital mammography screening strategies (including No Screening) across different age ranges. The model estimates the benefits, harms, limitations, and use of resources for each strategy.

  • 3. Total cost-effectiveness of mammography screening strategies Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214295
    Description:

    Using the Wisconsin Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Monitoring Network breast cancer simulation model adapted to the Canadian context, costs and quality-adjusted life years were evaluated for 11 mammography screening strategies that varied by start/stop age and screening frequency for the general population. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios are presented, and sensitivity analyses are used to assess the robustness of model conclusions.

  • 4. The 10 leading causes of death, 2012 Archived
    Stats in brief: 82-625-X201500114296
    Description:

    Statistics shown in this fact sheet come from vital statistics Canadian death database. These data are collected from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries and contain demographic and medical (cause of death) information on all deaths in Canada.

    Release date: 2015-12-10
  • 5. Trends in mortality rates, 2000 to 2012 Archived
    Stats in brief: 82-625-X201500114297
    Description:

    This fact sheet presents the age-standardized mortality rates and analyzes the trends in mortality rates since 2000, with emphasis on the leading causes of death.

  • 6. Developmental disabilities among Canadians aged 15 years and older, 2012 Archived
    Stats in brief: 89-654-X2015003
    Description:

    The Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) is a national survey of Canadians aged 15 and over whose everyday activities are limited because of a long-term condition or health-related problem. The exception to this is that people with developmental disabilities must have been diagnosed by a health practitioner. Their disability did not need to limit their daily activities.

  • 7. A Profile of the Labour Market Experiences of Adults with Disabilities among Canadians aged 15 years or older, 2012 Archived
    Articles and reports: 89-654-X2015005
    Description:

    Using data from the 2012 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD), this report examines the labour market experiences of people with disabilities. The CSD data offer opportunities for analysis of disability-specific aspects of employment, such as barriers encountered by people with disabilities, workplace accommodations needed and whether those needs are met, perceptions of disability-related discrimination in the work environment, and labour force discouragement among those who are neither working nor looking for work. This report aims to provide information to employers, and to spark further research in the area of disability and employment.

  • 8. The feasibility of adding treatment data to the Canadian Cancer Registry using record linkage Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-622-X2015009
    Description:

    The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) represents a collaborative effort between Statistics Canada and the thirteen provincial and territorial cancer registries to create a single database to report annually on cancer incidence and survival at the national and jurisdictional level. While gains have been made to ensure high quality, standardized, and comparable data, the CCR currently lacks information on cancer treatment. The Canadian Council of Cancer Registries (CCCR) identified the need to capture treatment data at the national level as a key strategic priority for 2013/2014. Record linkage was identified as one possible approach to fill this information gap.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of using record linkage to add cancer treatment information for selected cancers: breast, colorectal and prostate. The objectives are twofold: to assess the quality of the linkage processes and the validity of using linked data to estimate cancer treatment rates at the provincial level. The study is based on the Canadian Cancer Registry (2005 to 2008) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) for four provinces (Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island). The linkage was proposed by Statistics Canada, the CCCR and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). The linkage was approved and conducted at Statistics Canada.

  • 9. Deaths from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Canada, 1950 to 2011 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-624-X201500114246

  • 10. Housing and health among Inuit children Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501114223
    Description:

    This study uses the 2006 Aboriginal Children’s Survey to examine associations between physical and psychosocial housing characteristics and physical and mental health outcomes of Inuit children aged 2 to 5.
