Rotavirus vaccine programs and hospital admissions for rotavirus




LATEST ARTICLES

 * The success of publicly funded rotavirus vaccine programs for preventing
   community- and hospital-acquired rotavirus infections in Canadian pediatric
   hospitals: an observational study
   Although start dates of rotavirus vaccine programs across provinces varied,
   rotavirus infections at pediatric hospitals in Canada decreased by around 80%
   in the 1- to 9-year interval after program implementation.
 * Social determinants of access to timely elective surgery in Ontario, Canada:
   a cross-sectional population level study
   Social disadvantage, approximated by the ON-Marg Index for each patient’s
   neighbourhood of residence, had a small and inconsistent impact on the
   patient’s odds of exceeding target wait times for 7 common elective surgical
   procedures in Ontario.
 * Neighbourhood deprivation, distance to nearest comprehensive stroke centre
   and access to endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke: a
   population-based study
   Endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke helps improve survival and outcome.
   However, people who live in poor neighbourhoods or far from comprehensive
   stroke centres may have a lower chance of receiving this therapy.
 * Trends in hospital coding for people experiencing homelessness in Canada,
   2015–2020: a descriptive study
   In 2018, hospitals were mandated to record homelessness using ICD-10-CA code
   Z59.0. The authors describe the use of Z59.0 in Hospital Morbidity Database
   records for fiscal years 2015/16 to 2020/21.
 * Exploring paramedic care for First Nations in Alberta: a qualitative study
   First Nations people face discrimination and systemic barriers when accessing
   paramedicine. Potential solutions include the integration of paramedics in
   expanded health care roles that incorporate First Nations perspectives and
   address local priorities.
