  • Hospital discharges for substance-related injuries before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: a descriptive surveillance study using administrative data
    Comparison of hospital admissions for substance-related injuries from March 2019–February 2020 and March 2020–February 2021 finds admissions for substance-related injuries increased during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Estimating the test-adjusted incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis infections identified through Public Health Ontario Laboratories in Peel region, Ontario, 2010–2018: a population-based study
    Authors investigated chlamydia testing patterns and estimated test-adjusted incidence rates, by age and sex. Observed incidence and testing were highest in females aged 20–29 years. Males had the highest standardized test positivity across all age groups.
  • Inclusion of patient-level emergency department characteristics to classify potentially redirectable visits to subacute care: a modified Delphi consensus study
    Four characteristics were determined as useful to classify potentially redirectable emergency department (ED) visits: age (81%), triage acuity (100%), specialist consult in the ED (94%) and ED visit outcome (81%).
  • Universal ophthalmia neonatorum prophylaxis in Ontario: a cost-effectiveness analysis
    Using a hybrid (decision tree/Markov) model, the authors suggest that prophylaxis against ophthalmia neonatorum with erythromycin ointment is not cost-effective in Canada, particularly in the context of the low prevalence of gonococcal infection.
  • Association between physician continuity of care and patient outcomes in clinical teaching units: a cohort analysis
    Authors observed a significant increase in 30-day readmission rate in patients who had 3 or more attending physicians, compared with those who had 1 attending physician.
