Because farming is a physically demanding occupation, farmers may be susceptible to developing osteoarthritis (OA). The aim of this study was to determine the risk of developing OA in Canadian farm, n...
A retrospective cohort study of five Alberta health administrative databases examined the risk of developing OA among three groups: farm (n=143 431), non-farm rural (n=143 431) and urban (n=143 431) r...
A total of 26 957 OA cases were identified among 1 706 256 person-years (PYs) in the farm cohort. The crude incidence rate of OA over a period of 21 years ranged from 19.1 (95% confidence interval (CI...
When accounting for age and sex, farm and non-farm rural residents have a higher risk of developing OA as compared to the urban population. The higher mortality-adjusted lifetime risk of developing OA...
LDL-C, a cardiovascular disease risk assessment biomarker, is commonly calculated using the Friedewald equation. The NIH equation overcomes several limitations of the Friedewald equation. Consistent w...
1-year (01/01/2021-12/31/2021) of lipid results (n = 1,486,584 after data cleaning) were obtained from five analytical instrument groups used across Alberta. Analyses were performed on all data and af...
Friedewald- and NIH-calculated LDL-C exhibit the strongest correlation when triglycerides ≤ 4.52 mmol/L. The difference between Friedewald- and NIH-calculated LDL-C increases with decreasing LDL-C con...

Data on the incidence and characteristics of stillbirths attributed to congenital syphilis were collected....
We extracted data on stillbirths in the Edmonton Zone on January 1, 2015, through June 30, 2021, born to persons diagnosed with infectious syphilis (primary, secondary, early latent, or early neurosyp...
Of 314 infants documented to be exposed to infectious syphilis during gestation, 16 (5.1%) were stillborn. Three of the 16 females with stillbirths were diagnosed with syphilis during pregnancy but no...
Stillbirths due to congenital syphilis were all due to failure to treat syphilis in pregnancy. Innovative strategies to prevent syphilis in the community and to reach those experiencing barriers to ca...
Triage is the process of identifying patients with both the greatest clinical need and the greatest likelihood of benefit in the setting of limited clinical resources. The primary objective of this st...
Data from the Alberta Trauma Registry (ATR) was used to assess seven triage tools: START, JumpSTART, SALT, RAMP, MPTT, BCD and MITT. Clinical data captured in the ATR was used to determine which triag...
Of the 9448 records that were captured 8652 were included in our analysis. The most sensitive triage tool was MPTT, which demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.76 (0.75, 0.78). Four of the seven triage tool...
There was a wide range in the sensitivity of triage tools to identify patients requiring urgent lifesaving interventions. MPTT, BCD and MITT were the most sensitive triage tools assessed. All of the t...
Supervised consumption services have been scaled up within Canada and internationally as an ethical imperative in the context of a public health emergency. A large body of peer-reviewed evidence demon...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infections reported in older adults, across all settings. Although a diagnosis of a UTI requires specific clinical and microbiological criter...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of UTI diagnoses amongst hospitalized older adults based on clinical and microbiological findings, and their corresponding antibiotic treatment (incl...
A single-center retrospective cross-sectional study of older adult patients (n = 238) hospitalized at the University of Alberta Hospital with an admission diagnosis of UTI over a one-year period was p...
44.6% (n = 106) of patients had a diagnosis of UTI which was supported by documents clinical and microbiological findings while 43.3% (n = 103) of patients had bacteriuria without documented symptoms....
UTIs are commonly misdiagnosed in hospitalized older adults by healthcare providers, resulting in the majority of such patients receiving unnecessary antibiotics, increasing the risk of complications....
Fingolimod became the first disease-modifying therapy approved by Health Canada for pediatric multiple sclerosis in 2018, but the impact of that approval on treatment patterns in Canada is unknown. Th...
This study entailed a retrospective review of administrative health databases using 2 case definitions of multiple sclerosis. Those <19 years of age at a date of diagnosis between January 1, 2011, and...
106 children met one or both case definitions. In 2020, the age-standardized incidence using the 2 case definitions was 0.47 and 0.57 per 100 000, and the age-standardized prevalence was 2.84 and 3.41...
The treatment of children with multiple sclerosis in Alberta has evolved, with a rapid shift in 2019 away from injectables to newer agents, although B-cell therapies-not fingolimod-are now most common...
The impact of cancer in Alberta is expected to grow considerably, largely driven by population growth and aging. The Future of Cancer Impact (FOCI) initiative offers an overview of the present state o...
In defining social class, researchers often rely on measures of objective class position, even though subjective perceptions of social class identity can better account for the creation of social clas...
