  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200411761
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Data from the Discharge Abstract Database of the Canadian Institute for Health Information were used to examine acute care hospital days for patients with a mental condition coded as the most responsible diagnosis or a comorbid diagnosis in 2009/2010.

    Description:

    About one in five Canadians have suffered from a mental condition at some point in their lives. Like other health conditions, mental conditions represent an economic burden to society, and costs are often comparable to physical conditions such as heart disease. Expenditures on mental conditions and addictions for Canadian provinces in 2003/2004 were $6.6 billion, of which $5.5 billion was from public sources.

    Major psychiatric conditions are often associated with physical comorbidity - in particular, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and respiratory conditions. Reasons for this association are diverse, and not fully understood. Many health conditions increase the risk for a mental condition. Mental comorbidity can complicate help-seeking, diagnosis, and treatment, and it influences prognosis. Hence understanding the burden of mental conditions as a comorbid condition among those with physical morbidities is important.

    This report represents an assessment of a comprehensive set of factors associated with acute-care hospitalizations for mental conditions in Canada. The first part explores the overall burden of a mental condition as the most responsible condition (the condition considered most responsible for the hospitalization) and as a comorbid condition (a diagnosed condition other than the most responsible for the hospitalization) in acute-care hospitals in Canada. It presents the number of hospitalizations, the number of hospital days and the average length of stay of a hospitalization. In the second part, linked health survey and hospital data are used to describe the socioeconomic and lifestyle factor characteristics of patients who were admitted to an acute-care hospital with a mental condition within four years after responding to the survey.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article examines geographical variations in 30-day revascularization rates and 30-day in-hospital mortality rates for Canadian heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) patients. The data are from the Health Person-Oriented Information Database and pertain to health regions with at least 100,000 population in seven provinces for the years 1995/1996 and 2003/2004.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110449
    Description:

    Traditionally administrative hospital discharge databases have been mainly used for administrative purposes. Recently, health services researchers and population health researchers have been using the databases for a wide variety of studies; in particular health care outcomes. Tools, such as comorbidity indexes, have been developed to facilitate this analysis. Every time the coding system for diagnoses and procedures is revised or a new one is developed, these comorbidity indexes need to be updated. These updates are important in maintaining consistency when trends are examined over time.

    Description:

    This article reports recent trends in influenza vaccination rates in Canada, provides data on predictors of vaccination for 2005, and examines longer-term effects of Ontario's universal influenza immunization program on vaccine uptake. The data are from the 1996/1997 National Population Health Survey and the 2000/2001, 2003 and 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey.

    Description:

    Health studies linking the administrative hospital discharge database by person can be used to describe disease/procedure rates and trends by person, place and time; investigate outcomes of disease, procedures or risk factors; and illuminate hospital utilization. The power and challenges of this work will be illustrated with examples from work done at Statistics Canada.

    Description:

    As well as sub-zero temperatures and snowstorms, flu viruses arrive with the Canadian winter. Healthy people usually recover from the fever, cough, headache and other symptoms in less than a week. But some "especially seniors and those with lung or cardiac conditions" may have more severe cases of the flu and may even need to be hospitalized.
