Abstract:
Background: Variation in breast cancer surgical practice patterns can lead to poor clinical outcomes. It is important to measure and reduce variation to ensure all women diagnosed with breast cancer receive equitable, high-quality care. A population-based assessment of the variation in breast cancer surgery treatment and quality has never been conducted in Manitoba. The objective of this study was to assess the variation in surgical treatment patterns, quality of care, and post-operative outcomes for women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Methods: This descriptive study used data from the Manitoba Cancer Registry, Hospital Discharge Abstracts Database, Medical Claims, Manitoba Health Insurance Registry, and Statistics Canada. The study included women in Manitoba aged 20+ and diagnosed with invasive breast cancer between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2014. Results: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) for node-negative disease ranged from 3.4% to 32.6%, timeliness (surgery within 30 days of consult) ranged from 33.3% to 60.2%, and re-excision ranged from 14.7% to 24.6% between health authorities. Women who underwent breast-conserving surgery had the shortest median length of stay and women who underwent mastectomy with immediate reconstruction had the longest median length of stay. In-hospital post-operative complications were higher among women who received mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (9.9%). Conclusion: Variation in surgical treatment, quality, and outcomes exist in Manitoba. The findings from this study can be used to inform cancer service delivery planning, quality improvement efforts, and policy development. Influencing data-driven change at the health system level is paramount to ensuring Manitobans receive the highest quality of care.

Abstract:
IntroductionBreast feeding is associated with many health benefits for mothers and infants. But despite extensive public health efforts to promote breast feeding, many mothers do not achieve their own breastfeeding goals; and, inequities in breastfeeding rates persist between high and low-income mother–infant dyads. Developing targeted programme to support breastfeeding dyads and reduce inequities between mothers of different socioeconomic status are a priority for public health practitioners and health policy decision-makers; however, many jurisdictions lack the timely and comprehensive population-level data on infant-feeding practices required to monitor trends in breastfeeding initiation and duration. This protocol describes the establishment of a population-based infant-feeding database in the Canadian province of Manitoba, providing opportunities to develop and evaluate breastfeeding support programme.Methods and analysisRoutinely collected administrative health data on mothers’ infant-feeding practices will be captured during regular vaccination visits using the Teleform fax tool, which converts handwritten information to an electronic format. The infant-feeding data will be linked to the Manitoba Population Research Data Repository, a comprehensive collection of population-based information spanning health, education and social services domains. The linkage will allow us to answer research questions about infant-feeding practices and to evaluate how effective current initiatives promoting breast feeding are.Ethics and disseminationApprovals have been granted by the Health Research Ethics Board at the University of Manitoba. Our integrative knowledge translation approach will involve disseminating findings through government and community briefings, presenting at academic conferences and publishing in scientific journals.

Abstract:
The organization of Canada’s provincial health care systems and the administrative databases that sustain them provide physicians, epidemiologists and public health officials with unique opportunities to improve surveillance of influenza and its prevention. These databases can be used to measure the impact of influenza on excess mortality, hospitalization and costs to the health care system. They can also be used to study the epidemiology of influenza vaccination practices. Studies using the administrative database for the province of Manitoba have established the epidemiological rationale for hospital-based vaccination and have evaluated the clinical effectiveness of influenza vaccination. As pneumococcal vaccination becomes widespread in Canada, provincial databases should also prove useful in assessing the impact of the pneumococcal infections and their prevention with pneumococcal vaccine.

Abstract:
Abstract BACKGROUND The prevalence of paediatric diabetes is increasing. Identifying and describing populations with paediatric diabetes using Primary Care Electronic Medication Records (EMR) can improve surveillance and management. OBJECTIVES To describe the population of children diagnosed with paediatric diabetes in Manitoba using Electronic Medical Record data from Community Paediatricians and Family Physcians in Manitoba. DESIGN/METHODS We applied a previously validated case definition for type 1 and type 2 diabetes to patients aged 1–18 seen by one of the 221 primary care providers participating in the Manitoba Primary Care Research Network (MaPCReN) between 1998–2015. We compared the agreement between the MaPCReN definition and Manitoba’s Diabetes Education Resource for Children and Adolescents (DERCA) clinical database of confirmed cases. Cases were described, including prevalence, patient characteristics, and health system use. RESULTS Our definition identified 166 children (0.4%, 95% CI 0.36% - 0.49%) of whom 53.0% lived in a rural location and 53.6% were female. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.4 years (SD 5.4). There were 90 patients identified by the definition also cared for by a paediatric endocrinologist at DERCA [sensitivity (54.2%), specificity (98.7%), and kappa (0.61, CI 0.54-.069)]. An additional 286 patients had at least one documented HbA1C of 6.5% or higher but did not have a corresponding diabetes diagnosis within the EMR. Of those, 45% had an HbA1c between 6.5 -7.5 and 25.9% had an HbA1c over 8.5%. Most of these patients also had an abnormal fasting glucose in the EMR (76.9%). There were 280 patients with an elevated HbA1c that had no evidence of attending an appointment with a paediatric endocrinologist at DERCA, 70.8% have a rural address. CONCLUSION The inclusion of HbA1c values in identifying paediatric diabetes suggested a large number of patients without a corresponding diabetes diagnosis or record of care from DERCA. Therefore, the DERCA database might be underestimating the true prevalence of diabetes in Manitoba. Understanding further characteristics of this population, is an essential step to inform the development of enhanced services and strategies.

Abstract:
Abstract Recent epidemiologic studies have shown that although the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rapidly increasing in newly industrialized countries, at the turn of the 21st century the incidence had stabilized in the Western world. In this issue of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Torabi and colleagues present their findings on the temporal trends and geographic variations in IBD incidence in Manitoba from 1990 to 2012 using the Manitoba Health population registry and the University of Manitoba IBD epidemiology database. Their results demonstrate an overall decrease in the incidence of IBD during the study period. They also found significant regional variations in disease incidence within Manitoba, with rates of new diagnosis of IBD remaining high in several regions. Lastly, the study found that a higher proportion of the indigenous population had a lower rate of IBD. These findings provide new insights on the changing epidemiology of IBD in the Western world. The overall declining incidence of IBD and identification of persistently low and high-risk populations in Manitoba, which traditionally has had some of the highest incidence rates of IBD, is intriguing and can provide new avenues of research for epidemiologists in the field.

Abstract:
Background: Infectious syphilis rates have been increasing in Winnipeg, Manitoba among individuals during their childbearing years. Untreated or inadequately treated prenatal infection often results in congenital syphilis, with devastating consequences to fetal health and survival. The objective of this study was to review public health surveillance data regarding congenital syphilis incidence and birthing parent risk factors in Winnipeg from 2018 to 2020. Methods: Data extracted from a population-based surveillance database maintained by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Public Health investigations for all 2018–2020 probable or confirmed cases of early congenital syphilis or syphilitic stillbirth were reviewed. Rates of congenital syphilis were calculated per 1,000 live births. Descriptive analyses were performed to describe birthing parent age, neighbourhood of residence, intravenous substance use, Child and Family Services involvement, access to prenatal care and obtainment of adequate prenatal treatment. Results: There were eight cases of confirmed/probable congenital syphilis in 2018, 22 cases in 2019 and 30 cases in 2020. Average birthing parent age was 26.5–27.0 years. The majority (66.7%) of birthing parents lived in inner city neighbourhoods with known infectious syphilis outbreaks. Over 50% of birthing parents did not receive any prenatal care, or the care received consisted of inadequate treatment or follow-up. Reinfection among birthing parents who did receive prenatal care was suspected in an additional 23.3% of cases. Conclusion: Congenital syphilis rates in Winnipeg have increased dramatically. Public health and healthcare provider efforts to address the needs of the community are vital for promoting access to safe and effective prenatal care.

Abstract:
Patient characteristics and prescribing patterns during the introduction of leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRA) in Manitoba are described using the provincial health database. Residents of Manitoba with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis or claims for respiratory medications were identified. Six thousand forty-one of 160,626 (3.8%) patients received LTRA; the likelihood of receiving LTRA increased if a patient was younger than 15 years, lived in a rural locale, had asthma, had frequent physician visits or used inhaled corticosteroids. Subsequent prescriptions (68%) were associated with the number of physician visits and inhaled corticosteroid use, which were thought to be indexes of severity. Patients, especially children, who received more than five prescriptions showed evidence of increased asthma control, but there was little evidence of benefit in less selected patient groups due, at least in part, to poor compliance with all respiratory drugs.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in children with an estimated prevalence of 2.1 per 1000 live births. Understanding the provincial prevalence of CP and describing clinical sub-types within Manitoba assists with planning future funding and ensuring adequate resources. Objectives This study aimed to determine the prevalence estimate of CP among 4-year-old children in Manitoba, and further describe children’s clinical presentation. Design/Methods As the Rehabilitation Centre for Children (RCC) is a referral site for all Manitoba children requiring multidisciplinary evaluation/treatment for CP, this retrospective study used RCC’s electronic medical records to identify all 4-year-old children who had a confirmed CP diagnosis, were living in Manitoba and were born between Jan 2013 to Dec 2015. To ensure provincial data was complete, information was cross-referenced with the Pediatric Neurology Clinic’s medical records and the Neonatal Follow-up database. Prevalence rate was determined using Government of Manitoba denominators of same age children. The Gross Motor Function Classification system (GMFCS) determined the child’s level of functioning Results The prevalence of CP in Manitoba (birth years 2013-2015) for 108 4-year-old-children is 2.05 (95% CI1.7, 2.5) per 1000 4-year-old children. Of the 108 4-year-old children with CP, 6 (5.6%) had a post neonatal cause, while 102 (94.4%) had a perinatal cause; and 51/108 (47%) were born preterm. Motor subtypes for 108 children are: Spastic 99 (91.7%) including hemiplegia 41.4%, diplegia 21.2%, triplegia 8.1%, and quadriplegia 29.3%; Dyskinetic 4 (3.7%); Ataxic 3(2.8%) and Hypotonic 2 (1.8%). 58/108 (54%) were independent ambulators (GMFCS level II/II). Conclusion Our provincial rate of CP is consistent with the prevalence reported in developed countries. Understanding the clinical presentation assists in informing treatment and resources for children with CP in our province.

"Referral, Genetic Counselling, and BRCA Testing in the Manitoba High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Population, 2004–2019." Current Oncology 29, no. 12 (November 30, 2022): 9365–76. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/curroncol29120735.
Abstract:
(1) Background: The primary objective of this study was to examine the rate of genetic referral, BRCA testing, and BRCA positivity amongst all patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) from 2004–2019. The secondary objective was to analyze secondary factors that may affect the rates of referral and testing. (2) Methods: This population-based cohort study included all women diagnosed with HGSOC using the Manitoba Cancer Registry, CervixCheck registry, Medical Claims database at Manitoba Health, the Hospital Discharge abstract, the Population Registry, and Winnipeg Regional Health Authority genetics data. Data were examined for three different time cohorts (2004–2013, 2014–2016; 2017–2019) correlating to practice pattern changes. (3) Results: A total of 944 patients were diagnosed with HGSOC. The rate of genetic referrals changed over the three timeframes (20.0% → 56.7% → 36.6%) and rate of genetic testing increased over the entire timeframe. Factors found to increase rates of referral and testing included age, histology, history of oral contraceptive use, and family history of ovarian cancer. Prior health care utilization indicators did not affect genetic referral or testing. (4) Conclusion: The rate of genetic referral (2004–2016) and BRCA1/2 testing (2004–2019) for patients with a diagnosis of HGSOC increased over time. A minority of patients received a consultation for genetics counselling, and even fewer received testing for a BRCA1/2. Without a genetic result, it is difficult for clinicians to inform treatment decisions. Additional efforts are needed to increase genetics consultation and testing for Manitoban patients with HGSOC. Effects of routine tumour testing on rates of genetic referral will have to be examined in future studies.

Abstract:
With the inevitable adoption of information technology into all areas of human pursuit,
the potential benefits for health care should not be overlooked. In Australia, details of most health care encounters are currently recorded for administrative purposes. This results in an impressive electronic data-bank that could provide a national resource for health service evaluation.
¶ ... ¶
The aims of the project were: · To examine the potential for using administrative data to generate outcome measures and surveillance indicators. · To investigate the logistics of gaining access to these data for the purpose of research. This to be achieved within the current ethical, political and financial framework. · To compare the Australian health-service data system with the current international state-of-the-art. · To develop suggestions for expansion of the present system as part of an integrated health record and information system. This system to manage patient records and provide data for quality management, treatment surveillance and cost-effectiveness evaluation as a routine activity. ¶ The thesis is presented in two parts. In the first part, a historical cohort study is described that involved patients with implantable medical devices. ... ¶ In the second part of the thesis, conclusions are presented about the potential uses and limitations of the existing system and its use as a basis for the development of a national Integrated Health Record and Information System (IHRIS). ...¶ ... Unfortunately, in Australia, the use of administrative data for this purpose is not currently feasible. The principal barrier is the existence of a culture within the Australian health care system which is not supportive of research and is deficient in quality and safety measures. ¶ Recent initiatives by both the Commonwealth and state governments have supported the introduction of measures to improve quality and safety in health care. It is argued here that an Integrated Health Record and Information System (IHRIS) would provide an essential component of any such scheme. The results of this study have important policy implications for health care management in both the administrative and clinical domains.
