▼ Background: Comorbidity has an important impact on cancer outcomes, but the optimal approach to measuring comorbidity at a population level has not been established. Aims: • To review evidence relating to the importance of comorbidity in relation to cancer care and outcomes; and to examine previously developed approaches to measuring comorbidity in this context. • To assess the usefulness of routinely collected comorbidity data in New Zealand, • To develop and validate optimised measures of comorbidity using these data for patients with cancer, • To develop, and compare more simplified measures against the optimised measures. Methods: Studies describing methods to measure comorbidity in epidemiological studies related to cancer were identified and reviewed. For this study, development and validation cohorts included patients diagnosed with colorectal, breast, gynaecological, upper gastrointestinal, or urological cancers identified from the national Cancer Registry between July 2006 and June 2008 for the development cohort (n=14096) and July 2008 to Dec 2009 for the validation cohort (n=11014). Data on comorbid conditions identified in administrative hospitalisation and pharmaceutical data were compared with data from manual clinical notes review for a subset of patients. Fifty conditions using administrative hospitalisation and twenty conditions using pharmaceutical data were identified prior to cancer diagnosis. Three sets of indices were developed 1) site-specific indices using hospitalisation data (‘C3’ indices), 2) a single all-cancer index using pharmaceutical data (PBCI) and 3) three simplified versions of the hospitalisation indices; an all-cancer version and two versions including a subset of conditions (SI1, 2 and 3 respectively). Conditions were weighted according to their log hazard ratios from age and stage adjusted Cox regression models of non-cancer death; and indices were calculated by summing these weights. Performance of these indices was compared with the Charlson index, a combination of the C3 and pharmacy-based indices, and with each other. Results: The review of previously developed comorbidity measures for cancer populations identified 21 separate approaches, with none identified as gold standard. Administrative data were found to be adequate for measuring comorbidity in cancer populations. Comorbidity was associated with poorer survival but the impact varied by condition and across cancer site. No single index clearly outperformed all others for all sites. The best performance overall was achieved with the combined hospitalisation and pharmaceutical indices, particularly for all sites combined, colorectal and upper GI cancers. Generally hospitalisation indices outperformed the pharmaceutical-based index, but the converse was true for non-cancer death for breast and gynaecological cancers. Site-specific weights did not add appreciably to the validity of the indices. Among the simpler indices, the SI2, SI3 and PBCI approaches tended to outperform the Charlson index for all… Advisors/Committee Members: Crampton, Peter (advisor).

▼ Background: Research into Colorectal cancer (CRC) require maintenance of clinical cancer databases with complex datasets. These are resource intensive, region specific, and compromised by reporting bias [1]. Administrative data are routinely captured for each hospital admission and may serve as an alternative source for populating databases. However, the accuracy of administrative data has not been fully explored and may vary by data item. The aims of this study included identifying a cohort of new CRC patients from administrative data, measuring its accuracy, and deriving coding algorithms to improve the accuracy of diagnoses, procedures and short-term outcomes. There has been much debate that major surgery, in particular for cancer patients, should be concentrated in tertiary centres, based on the premise that high volume centres achieve better outcomes. In this study, we investigated two hypotheses: that the majority of complex colorectal cancer resections are performed in major city hospitals and that the short-term outcomes are better in CSSANZ (Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand) hospitals. Large Inpatient administrative databases are a common source used to identify comorbidities recorded with International Classification of Disease (ICD) diagnostic codes. These data sources may be used to assess the effect of baseline comorbidity status on surgical care outcomes. In this study, we hypothesized that the ASA PS (American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status) classification can predict short-term outcomes after a colorectal cancer resection when compared to the Elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to identify all new colorectal cancer resections at The Royal Melbourne Hospital from 1st of January 2008 to 31st of December 2013, using administrative data. Code combinations and algorithms were used to improve the accuracy of administrative data. These algorithms were utilized to identify an accurate cohort of colorectal cancer resection cases from the Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset (VAED), between July 2008 to June 2013. The short-term outcomes and workloads were compared in public hospitals across the state of Victoria. The algorithms constructed were also utilised to identify an accurate cohort of CRC resection cases from Dr Foster Global Comparators Victorian dataset. ASA PS classification scores were identified from these cases. Multiple linear regression models were constructed to study the association between comorbidity indices and short-term outcomes. Results: It is possible to use administrative data to identify new colorectal cancer patients who have had a surgical resection, using specific coding algorithms. Administrative data has an accuracy of 80-100% for most data fields, and this accuracy can be improved using coding algorithms. An accurate cohort of colorectal cancer resection cases was identified from the VAED dataset. Seventy-three percent of CRC resections in the state were performed in…

▼ Increasingly, migrants and health are major international concerns and an important area of study within public health. The recent increase in rates of migration and the vast differences between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of most migrant groups compared to settled populations are known to be some of the main reasons for the increasing need to focus research efforts on migrant health. However, despite the increasing availability of accessible national datasets, very few register-based studies have been conducted in the UK, especially when compared to other regions in Europe (most notably the Nordic countries), and worldwide. This thesis aimed to evaluate the usefulness of administrative data in the research of migrant health. A scoping review of the literature revealed that migrants were less likely to utilise mental healthcare services and access psychotropic prescription medication than the settled majority population in their new countries. In addition, mental ill-health prevalence and suicide rates were higher amongst the migrant population. The advantages and disadvantages of using administrative data in migrant mental health research are discussed, as informed by the studies included in the review. In order to profile the migrant population of Northern Ireland, and to investigate the mental health of the migrant population as compared to the settled majority population, records from the 2011 Census of Northern Ireland were linked to psychotropic prescribing information from the Enhanced Prescribing Database. Migrants were significantly less likely to report poor mental health than the settled population of Northern Ireland, when adjusted for demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and reported poor physical health. Migrants were also significantly less likely to use any form of psychotropic prescription medication than the settled population. A further study was conducted in Finland. The National Finish Population Register was linked with the Finish National Death Register in order to compare the mortality risk of migrant groups in Finland with the settled Finnish majority population. Results showed that particularly low-income migrants seem to display a survival advantage compared with the corresponding income group in the settled majority population. The thesis uses administrative data from two European countries to assess migrant health. It also appraises the administrative data available in both countries. With increasing rates of world-wide migration, and increasing awareness of mental health difficulties, this thesis should be of particular interest to policy makers; the findings could help guide improvements in the way that administrative data is collected to better encapsulate migrant populations.

▼ Since there is a limited literature base concerning individuals admitted with a potentially preventable hospitalization (PPH) who acquired a healthcare associated infection (HAI), this research identified the prevalence and costs of individuals admitted to Texas hospitals in 2011 for a PPH and acquired an HAI. Based on IOM identified associations between PPH and uninsurance, the analytic evaluation draws from theoretical models that link insurance status to outcomes such as PPH. Using the hypothesis that the cost of preventive care for the uninsured with ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSC) that lead to PPH would be less than the incremental cost of healthcare for HAI in individuals admitted with a PPH and acquired an HAI, I estimated costs for ACSC related preventive care, PPH, and the incremental cost of HAI. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Quality Indicator modules identified PPH using administrative inpatient discharge data and private insurer claims data. Adjusting for demographic, community and hospital characteristics, logistic regression analysis estimated odds ratios of PPH individuals acquiring an HAI, and generalized least squared regression estimated costs needed to address the hypothesis. I identified 1,031 individuals in the 2011 Texas inpatient discharge data with both a PPH and an HAI. 66% of the PPH with HAI population identified Medicare as their primary payer, and 7% identified Self-pay or Charity as primary payer. Most PPH individuals had lower odds of acquiring an HAI. However, individuals admitted with diabetes related lower extremity amputation demonstrated a significantly higher odds of acquiring either Clostridium difficile infection (OR: 2.9, CI_(95%) 2.16, 3.91) or ventilator associated pneumonia (OR: 1.4, CI_(95%) 0.95, 2.18). The adjusted mean cost per hospitalization for PPH was approximately 2,000 less than the general inpatient population. The estimated incremental cost of HAI for the 97 uninsured individuals in the PPH and HAI population was 2.1 million. The cost of preventive healthcare for uninsured individuals in Texas with an ACSC was estimated at 66.8 billion. Given the large proportion of insured within the PPH with HAI population, and the incremental cost of HAI quantified, I recommend additional research focusing on the Medicare population affected.

▼ Following the passage of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2002, the pressure on school administrators to collect, analyze and report educational data in meaningful ways became greater than ever before (Gerwetz, 2006). As NCLB now fades into the distance pushed aside by the law's successor, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, state legislators and policy makers are working through new assessment and data criteria for public schools. The understandings and impact of data-driven decision making (DDDM) on local school systems remains relevant as ESSA requires states to continue disaggregating data by student sub-group and in support of student growth. School administrators are under enormous pressure to show patterns of growth for all students. DDDM has been a widely utilized technique in managing school operations, charting student growth and helping plan reform. What has evolved post-NCLB is the emergence of DDDM tools and techniques to help guide and inform initiatives designed to improve schools. This growth is supported by a publishing industry that produces "how-to" books and articles for school leaders on applying DDDM. Much of the research done on DDDM has focused largely on the technical and structural dimensions of data use with less attention paid towards administrators'' perceptions of DDDM and how school administrators are utilizing DDDM to strategically frame a culture of continuous improvement. Research has focused on systems built around compliance to mandated accountability models but often not based on the conviction of school administrators in support of a culture of continual learning and growth. Under ESSA, how will DDDM be viewed and utilized by school administrators? This qualitative research study focuses on the concept of DDDM and school administrators' perceptions of this concept in their school district. 24 school administrators from nine distinct school districts were interviewed for their reactions regarding DDDM. Is DDDM supporting student centered school improvement work based on conviction, or has the concept supported the distortion of a compliance driven educational process?

▼ This dissertation involves three studies that assess law enforcement related injuries and fatalities in the United States. The first study takes advantage of injury surveillance data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess injuries and deaths caused by law enforcement. The second project is an analysis of two probabilistically linked administrative databases that included two medically treated patient groups who had either been injured or killed by law enforcement or by civilians in Illinois. The third project is an analysis of the cause, severity, and workers’ compensation pay out among Illinois law enforcement personnel. The first study found that legal intervention fatality rates increased over time. Black men had much higher injury and fatality rates than other racial groups. American Indian/ Alaskan Natives were found to have much higher fatality rates than the national average. One recommendation is to create a national code of conduct manual for civilians that can be used as a directive for what to do when interacting with police officers. The second study found that most civilian assaults occurred before the age of 35 but legal interventions continued to age 44. Legal intervention injuries had more severe outcomes such as longer hospital stays, higher severity scoring, and more comorbid and psychiatric conditions than in those injured by civilian assaults. Injuries caused by legal interventions may not be due to interactions between law enforcement and civilians during the arrest process. The third study found that the causes of occupational injuries included assault, falls, motor vehicle accidents, and overexertion, among other causes. Extremities account for a high proportion of body parts affected by injury among officers. Additionally, correctional officers represented 45% of all disputed claims filed over the study period, and state police had a significantly higher proportion of officers who represented themselves. State police had some of the lowest compensation payouts and a much wider range of compensation. There lies a disparity in disputed claims among correctional officers that is not well understood, injury and fatality research on police should be assessed by department type, and safety recommendations should vary by department.

▼ Introduction: Administrative health databases are important resources for population-based chronic disease research and surveillance, but case definitions to identify disease cases can have low sensitivity and specificity. Case definitions constructed using repeated measurements of diagnoses over time have potential for improved accuracy. In particular, dynamic classification, which uses probabilistic models to classify individuals into disease, non-disease, and indeterminate categories and then updates these classifications as new information becomes available, are promising alternatives to conventional static classification methods for case ascertainment. Purpose & Objectives: The research purpose was to develop and evaluate methods that use longitudinal diagnostic information from population-based administrative databases to improve the accuracy of chronic disease case definitions. The objectives were to: (1) develop dynamic classification methods for retrospective longitudinal administrative data, (2) apply and validate dynamic classification to identify cases of juvenile arthritis (JA), and (3) compare the performance of case definitions developed using dynamic classification with case definitions developed using static approaches for classification. Methods: Dynamic longitudinal discriminant analysis (LoDA) was adapted for retrospective longitudinal administrative data and applied to administrative health data from Manitoba to identify cases of JA. The Pediatric Rheumatology Clinical Database was used for validation. Performance of the JA case definitions constructed with dynamic LoDA was measured using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and mean time to classification. Classification accuracy was compared for dynamic LoDA, deterministic case definitions and static LoDA models. Results: The study cohort included 797 children from the clinical database who could be linked to administrative health data from birth to age 16; 386 (48.4%) were JA cases and 411 (51.6%) were non-cases. The dynamic LoDA model with the best fit used a longitudinal binary variable for any-JA related physician visit or hospitalization. It had sensitivity of 0.70, specificity of 0.81, PPV of 0.82, and left 2% of the cohort unclassified after all data were used. On average, it took 9.21 years of data to classify individuals as a JA case or non-case. Both the deterministic case definition and static LoDA model outperformed the best dynamic LoDA model. Conclusion: The results suggest that dynamic classification can produce accurate case definitions using longitudinal information from administrative health data, although the choice of methods and their comparative performance will depend on the characteristics of the disease.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate how routine, day-to-day public health nursing (PHN) practice in one BC health authority affected health outcomes related to breastfeeding initiation and duration, infant immunizations, and household tobacco use within the population of perinatal women who were a high priority for additional and ongoing PHN services. Using administrative data from the integrated public health information system (iPHIS), outcomes for the priority population were compared to those of the general population of new mothers receiving usual PHN services. Additionally, through semi-structured interviews with PHNs, this study explored how the context of the work environment influenced PHN practice, and ultimately the achievement of those outcomes. Based on a philosophical foundation of critical realism, and a theoretical framework of critical caring, a mixed methods case study design was used to study PHN practice, as it existed day-to-day, amidst the array of ever changing organizational influences. Results from the statistical analysis of administrative data and thematic analysis of PHN interviews and organizational guiding documents, showed that priority women, who received five or more postnatal contacts from PHNs initiated breastfeeding in higher proportions than non-priority women, and continued breastfeeding to 18 months in the same proportion as non-priority mothers. Rates of breastfeeding duration for priority women were higher than expected based on current literature. Children of priority mothers were fully immunized in a slightly higher, but not significantly different proportion than children of the non-priority population, also at rates higher than expected. Although high rates of household tobacco use among this group of priority women did not appear to be influenced by PHN contact, the relationships that developed between priority women and PHNs suggest that organizational support for tobacco cessation activities may be a missed opportunity. Thematic analysis of PHN interviews and guiding documents provided background context and clarification for the kinds of organizational factors and underlying mechanisms that may have influenced the ability of PHNs to provide additional and ongoing support to priority perinatal women in achieving these three outcomes of interest. Finally, the theory of critical caring was verified and extended through the experiences and explanations of PHNs, with the addition of “navigating organizational complexity” to the original seven carative health promoting processes.

▼ Title: Outcomes in Patients With and Without ICD-9 Diagnosed Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Purpose: To evaluate the hypothesis that patients who present to the emergency department with objective findings of severe sepsis or septic shock, but who are not specifically diagnosed, denoted by absence of 995.92 or 785.52, are treated less aggressively and have worse outcomes than similar patients who are specifically diagnosed with severe sepsis or septic shock. Design: Retrospective cohort study Setting: University of Kansas Hospital, academic medical center, emergency department Patients: 6885 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock Methods: Data were extracted from the electronic health record using the query tool HERON, to identify patients with severe sepsis or septic shock admitted through the emergency department, between 11/01/07–09/31/15. Patients aged ≥ 18 years, who had an infection, received an antibiotic ≤ 8 hours after triage, and meet criteria for severe sepsis and/or septic shock were eligible for inclusion. Severe sepsis was defined either by explicit diagnosis, ICD-9 995.92, or clinical criteria, infection + ≥2 sites of organ dysfunction. Septic shock was identified by one of the following: 1) an explicit diagnosis of septic shock, ICD-9 785.52, 2) criteria for severe sepsis and an ICD-9 code of other shock or shock unspecified (785.50 or 785.59), or 3) criteria for severe sepsis and received a vasopressor. We compared treatment rates, based on the Surviving Sepsis Campaign three-hour recommendations, and outcome differences between severe sepsis and septic shock patients who had a diagnosis code of 995.92 or 785.52 to patients who met criteria, but were never diagnosed as denoted by no ICD-9 diagnosis code. Main Results: A total of 6885 eligible patients were identified, with a mean age of 60.4 years ± 16.9 (mean ± standard deviation). Half of patients were male, (51.3%) and 42.5% received an ICD-9 diagnosis code of 995.92 or 785.52. Septic shock was coded more frequently than severe sepsis (74.1% vs 32.8%). Three-hour bundle protocol completion rates were low for all patients (8.6%), but higher for those with an ICD-9 code than patients without (9.6% vs 7.9%, p=0.02). Average time to first antibiotic administration was also earlier for those with a diagnosis code (3.2 ± 3.1 hours vs 3.93 ± 3.9 hours, p <0.001). Therapeutic components of the 3-hour protocol, administration of an antibiotic and IV fluids if needed, were also found to be administered more often in patients with a diagnosis code (34.8% vs 28.6%, p<0.001). Within the cohort, 5631 (81.7%) patients had severe sepsis and no shock. Those with an ICD-9 code of 995.92 had higher mortality (6.3% vs 2.3%), higher ICU admission rates (44.7% vs 22.5%), and hospital lengths of stay (9.2 ± 6.9 days vs 6.9 ± 6.7 days), (all p<0.001). Discharge locations were also different. Severe sepsis patients with an ICD-9 diagnosis code were discharged home less (43.6% vs 52.0%, p<0.001), were discharged to hospice more (6.1% vs 4.4%, p<0.001), and were given… Advisors/Committee Members: Satterwhite, Catherine (advisor), Simpson, Steven Q (cmtemember), Brown, Alexandra (cmtemember).

▼ Higher education has increasing importance to our economic and social well-being. Dual enrollment is a policy tool used to encourage high school students to pursue, persist, and succeed in higher education by smoothing students’ transition from high school to higher education. Although there is a growing literature seeking to measure the impact of dual enrollment on students’ higher education outcomes, it suffers from limited generalizability and a lack of theory to explain its potential impact. Because dual enrollment is growing in popularity with the expectation that it will improve students’ higher education outcomes, this dissertation seeks to both understand dual enrollment’s underlying theory and measure its impact on Ohio’s students.This dissertation explores theories of emerging adulthood, anticipatory socialization, and role rehearsal in framing the possible mechanisms by which dual enrollment may benefit students. I empirically explore the state-wide impact of College Credit Plus, an Ohio law that requires school districts to offer dual enrollment at no charge to students. Using a synthetic comparison group, the impact of College Credit Plus on Ohio students’ higher education enrollment is uncertain, but the impact on persistence in enrollment from year one to year two is larger than an Ohio synthetic comparison state without College Credit Plus.Next this dissertation includes a descriptive analysis of dual enrollment in Ohio. Participation increases steadily until College Credit Plus was enacted, at which point participation increase more quickly. One goal of College Credit Plus is to diversify higher education in Ohio; findings show that dual enrollment participation is lower among underrepresented groups, and the gap is growing. A different strategy is then employed to model dual enrollment outcomes using a fixed effects model of school districts. This model measures the relationship between dual enrollment participation among each graduating cohort, and the rate at which that cohort enrolls in college after graduation, and whether they persist from year one to year two. The fixed effects model allows these outcomes to be modeled controlling for time-invariant characteristics of the school district. The results provide evidence that increasing the dual enrollment participation in a school district does in fact increase the proportion of students subsequently enrolling in higher education, as well as persisting into year two. The results hold up in subsets of districts that have high proportions of economically disadvantaged students and those that have high proportions of Black students.These studies provide compelling evidence that dual enrollment is associated with improved higher education enrollment and persistence. Where underrepresented groups of students participate in dual enrollment, evidence shows it is a successful strategy in improving their higher education outcomes as well.

▼ Section 16 A (2) (d), (e) and (f) of the South African Schools Act, Act 84 of 1996 assumes that a school principal has specialised knowledge in interpreting legislation, dealing with disciplinary matters pertaining to learners, educators and support staff, and making disciplinary decisions. The legal framework of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, Act 3 of 2000, as well as section 33 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, affects disciplinary decision making in education. The need to understand how legislation affects disciplinary decision making is important, because s ection 16 A of the South African Schools Act, Act 84 of 1996 assumes that education managers have the requisite knowledge and understanding of the law when dealing with disciplinary decision making. Disciplinary decisions taken by education managers fall in the domain of administrative law. The Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, Act 3 of 2000, forms the foundation for administrative action that is lawful, reasonable and fair. Since this Act is relatively new, and education managers have a lack of education law knowledge in general, it can be argued that principals might struggle to take disciplinary decisions that are lawful, reasonable and fair. Thus, there is a need to answer the following question: What are the legal requirements that should be considered in taking disciplinary decisions that are lawful, reasonable and fair and how can these disciplinary decisions be made more effectively? The purpose of the study was to understand the context and content of Section 33 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, Act 3 of 2000, and Section 16A of the Schools Act , Act 84 of 1996 and how they would positively influence disciplinary decision making in South African education. The main research question was: What are the legal requirements that should be considered in taking disciplinary decisions that are lawful, reasonable and fair and how can these disciplinary decisions be made more effectively? Chapter 2 answered the research question of which decision-making processes could assist the education manager to take disciplinary decisions that are lawful, reasonable and fair. It was established that principals make frequent use of the rational model for decision making. However, the more comprehensive data-driven decision-making model was proposed. This not only focuses on a single disciplinary decision, but on the cause and trends of all transgressions that exist in a school. This model enables a principal to draw up a plan of action to deal with the cause of the problem. After analysing the applicable legal framework, the concepts of lawful, reasonable, and fair were defined and interpreted in Chapter 3.

▼ Since local governments in Taiwan were given the power of self governance in 1950, the administrative divisions havenât been readjusted. After 60-year development, the population distribution and urban modes have totally changed. Without readjustment of the administrative divisions, human resource could not be reasonably deployed, resources wasted, regional development gaps widened and the entire country development was severely influenced. Under the impact of globalization and in response to new development in all aspects, such as politics, economics, society and territory, the governmental system and function have to be re-defined and administrative divisions and organization structure have to be readjusted to build an idealized and high-effective government. In recent years, local self-governing groups around the world also moved on to merging to cope with local fiscal predicament and promote the empowerment of local governing groups to enhance their administrative ability. The academic also comprehend the urgent importance of the merging of urban and rural townships and thus propose different resolution projects and strategies and directions of merging and adjustment. The author managed to sort different literature into supporting theories of merging and foreign cases about the merging of local self-governing groups. Based on the above theories and cases and through data envelopment analysis (DEA), the author simulated different merging programs of urban and rural townships, compared the efficiency before merging and that after merging, and proposed concrete suggestion towards the inefficient self-governing groups. The result showed that the program of merging urban and rural townships could increase the efficiency in every aspect. The conclusion can serve as reference to the future implement of the program of merging urban and rural townships.

▼

Blood sampling causes significant blood loss in intensive care unit (ICU) patients (up to 41 mL per day). Only 10% of the blood collected is used for testing suggesting that volumes can be reduced without compromising patient care or laboratory processes. Blood loss contributes to anemia which is highly prevalent in the ICU (>90% after 3 days) and is associated with major adverse cardiovascular outcomes and death. Diagnostic blood loss increases the likelihood of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion which is administered to about 40% of ICU patients (half are given in absence of hemorrhage) and has significant health risks. Small-volume blood collection tubes, which collect about 50% less blood, are available, but rarely used in adults. They have the same cost as standard-volume tubes and are compatible with laboratory equipment. The rationale for the continued use of standard-volume tubes is a theoretical concern about inadequate volume for testing, and the absence of data showing the benefit of small-volume tube use on an important clinical outcome. A study is needed to show that small-volume tubes reduce blood loss, anemia and RBC transfusion without harms or negative consequences on patient care and hospital procedures compared to standard-volume tubes. If this could be shown, it may lead to practice change regarding blood collection for laboratory testing. A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial is the ideal study design for this low-risk intervention. By incorporating the small-volume tubes into routine clinical practice and using administrative and hospital electronic medical record data, this study would be a pragmatic, cost-effective way to evaluate effectiveness and implementation. However, prior to conducting a full-scale trial powered on clinical outcomes, a pilot study is needed to determine whether a larger study will be feasible. The goals of this thesis are to (i) summarize the existing evidence regarding small-volume tubes; (ii) discuss cluster randomized trial methodology;(iii) discuss the use of health care administrative data for research; (iv) discuss the role of pilot studies; and (v) present the design of a pilot stepped wedge randomized trial of small-volume versus standard-volume blood collection tubes to evaluate the feasibility of a full-scale trial.

Thesis

Master of Science (MSc)

Blood testing is a preventable cause of blood loss. Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) have about 41 mL of blood taken per day for testing (like donating 1 unit of blood every 8 days). This contributes to anemia (low red blood cells) and transfusion, which are harmful. About 40% of ICU patients get at least one red blood cell transfusion which is a limited resource with health risks. Most of the blood sent to the laboratory is discarded (up to 90%) suggesting that volumes can be reduced without compromising care. The goals of this thesis are to (i) summarize the evidence for reducing blood loss for laboratory testing; (ii) discuss cluster randomized trials; (iii) discuss use…

▼ Upper urinary tract stones are a major determinant of pain and is suggested to accelerate disease progression in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). For these reasons, stones should be optimally managed in patients with ADPKD. However, the kidney distortions may make managing stones challenging in patients with ADPKD. Understanding of the epidemiology of upper urinary tract stones and stone intervention and the outcomes of stone interventions is limited. The aim of this thesis is to understand the epidemiology of upper urinary tract stones and stone interventions and consequences of stone management in patients with ADPKD. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted two systematic reviews to understand the current knowledge on the prevalence and incidence of upper urinary tract stones, and the success and complication rate of the three common stone interventions (shockwave lithotripsy [SWL], ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy [PCNL]) in patients with ADPKD. We conducted a chart review to validate International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10) codes related to ADPKD. We then conducted two cohort studies using ICES data to determine and compare the rate of stones and rate of stone intervention, and the complication rate of the most common stone intervention (ureteroscopy) in patients with ADPKD to patients without ADPKD with similar baseline health. Chapter 2 showed that that there is poor consensus on how often patients with ADPKD develop or undergo intervention for upper urinary tract stones. Chapter 3 showed that the efficacy and safety of stone interventions in patients with ADPKD remains uncertain. Chapter 4 summarized the limitations of the existing literature based on the findings of the two systematic reviews. Chapter 5 showed that majority of the patients with ICD-10 codes related to ADPKD truly have ADPKD according to strict clinical criteria. Chapter 6 showed that patients with ADPKD presented to the hospital with upper urinary tract stones more, and that urologist were not managing stones in patients with ADPKD in a similar manner to comparable patients without ADPKD. It also showed that ureteroscopy is the most commonly performed stone intervention. Chapter 7 showed ADPKD is associated with a statistically significant increase emergency department visits in selected patients with ADPKD who received ureteroscopy for upper urinary tract stones compared to patients without ADPKD. Results can inform the use of ICD-10 codes to build ADPKD cohorts, inform clinical practice guidelines, and guide prognostication.

▼ Objective: Although many children are placed in care of child protection services each year, very little is known about how having a child placed in care affects the health and well-being of biological mothers. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge. Methods: The linkable administrative data housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy were used to create several cohorts of mothers whose children were born in Manitoba, Canada, identified through child protection case files. Maternal health and social outcomes in the years before and after having a child taken into care were compared using generalized estimating equations. Poisson regression models were used to obtain relative rates of mental health-related outcomes for mothers whose children were taken into care and mothers whose children died. Incidence rate ratios of suicide attempts and completions were obtained using fixed-effects Poisson regression models. Finally, Cox proportional hazard regression models determined rates of avoidable and unavoidable mortality among mothers whose children were taken into care. Results: Compared with mothers whose children were not placed in care, mothers whose children were taken into care have significantly higher rates of anxiety, substance use, physician visits, hospitalizations, prescriptions, and income assistance use in the years before their children were taken into care; rates increased significantly in the years after. These mothers also had significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, substance use, physician visits for mental illness, hospitalizations for mental illness, and psychotropic medication use in the years after custody loss compared with mothers who experienced the death of a child. Rates of suicide attempts, death by suicide, avoidable mortality and unavoidable mortality were also higher among mothers whose child was taken into care. Conclusion: Mothers whose children are taken into care often face many challenges in the years leading up to custody loss; the loss of custody often creates new challenges or exacerbates existing challenges. To address these outcomes, more preventative services should be implemented to keep families together and more supports should be in place to ensure timely family reunification. Meaningful supports need to be provided for mothers who are not reunified with their children.

▼ Background: Identifying maternal risk factors associated with giving birth to children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is integral to the development of effective prevention strategies, however, there are no Canadian data in this area. The objective of this dissertation was to utilize population-based linked data to generate a large, representative sample of mothers whose children were diagnosed with FASD to investigate: (1) maternal risk factors associated with giving birth to children with FASD; (2) maternal physical and health outcomes; and (3) maternal usage of health services of the study population. Methods: A cohort of mother-infant dyads from a population of all children born in Manitoba between April 1, 1984 and March 31, 2012 who had an FASD diagnosis from the Manitoba FASD Centre from April 1, 1999 to March 31 2012, with follow-up until December 1, 2013 (study group: n=702). A control group (n=2097) matched 1:3 on date of birth of index child, region of residence, and socioeconomic status was generated to compare exposures and outcomes. Logistic regression analyses were run to determine maternal risk factors for giving birth to children with FASD, and adjusted relative rates for all mental and physical health outcomes, as well as rate of prenatal care, were calculated using generalized estimating equations with a Poisson or Negative Binomial distribution. Results: The following maternal characteristics were identified as having a statistically significant association with giving birth to children with FASD: history of teen pregnancy, being a single mother at birth of the index child, higher gravidity and parity, having a psychiatric disorder and/or physical health disorder up to three years before the birth of the child, and having inadequate prenatal care. Women who gave birth to children with FASD were also more likely to ii be involved with the child welfare system and the justice system, and to take antidepressants during pregnancy. Study group women had higher adjusted rates of substance use disorder, personality disorder, and mood and anxiety disorders before pregnancy, as well as higher adjusted rates of maternal psychological distress during pregnancy and postpartum, and antidepressant prescriptions before, during, and after pregnancy. Adjusted rates were higher among the study group for suicide completion, number of women attempting suicide, and number of attempts after the birth of the child until the end of the study period, as well as for inadequate and low prenatal care. Conclusion: Women giving birth to children with FASD face significant social complexity, as well as a high psychiatric burden, increased risk of suicide, and are at risk for inadequate prenatal care. FASD prevention strategies are needed that address these maternal risk factors to help reduce the incidence of FASD.

▼ Healthcare utilizations are typically measured independently of each other; neglecting the interdependencies between services. An episode of care is suitable for measuring healthcare utilizations of patients with complex health conditions because it tracks all contacts throughout the healthcare system. The overall goal of this research was to construct an episode of care data system to study healthcare utilizations and costs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. To achieve this goal, four related studies were undertaken. The first study (Chapter 2) evaluated the agreement between emergency department (ED) data and hospital records for capturing transitions between the two care settings. Using the κ statistic as a measure of concordance, we found good agreement between the two data sources for intra-facility transfers; but only fair agreement for inter-facility transfers. The results show that linking multiple data sources would be important to identify all related healthcare utilization across care settings. The second study (Chapter 3) linked hospital data, ED data, physician billing claims, and outpatient drug records to construct an episode of care data system for COPD patients. Latent class analysis was used to identify COPD patient groups with distinct healthcare pathways. Pathways were associated with outcomes such as mortality and costs. A few individuals followed complex pathways and incurred high costs. Building on the previous study, the next one (Chapter 4) predicted whether high-cost patients in one episode also incurred high costs in subsequent episodes. Using logistic regression models, we found that patient information routinely collected in administrative health data could satisfactorily predict those who become persistent high users. The final study (Chapter 5) used a cross-validation approach to compare the performance of eight alternative linear regression models for predicting costs of episodes of COPD exacerbations. The results indicate that the robust regression model, a model not often considered for cost prediction, was among the best models for predicting episode-based costs. Overall, this research demonstrated how population-based administrative health databases could be linked to construct an episode of care data system for a chronic health condition. The resulting data system supported novel investigations of healthcare system-wide utilizations and costs.

▼ Despite the breadth of the identified impacts and costs of child maltreatment, a primary challenge in our understanding of child maltreatment is that we still do not have solid numbers of children who experience it. Further, despite child protection systems (CPS) being reliant on mandated reporters to bring concerns of child maltreatment to their attention, there is little information about how systems respond to concerns of child maltreatment. Informed by the public health approach and ecological systems theory, this dissertation utilizes a novel linked administrative dataset of birth, hospital discharge, and CPS records to provide new knowledge about hospitalizations related to child maltreatment. It does so in three ways: identifying the incidence and prevalence of child maltreatment-related hospitalizations, the risk and protective factors of these hospitalizations, and the systems responses to these hospitalizations, as measured by CPS reports and removals by CPS. Results indicate that most common form of child maltreatment-related hospitalizations was neglect and, more specifically, supervisory neglect. Identified risk factors included child’s low birth weight, mothers who were teenagers at the time of birth, non-first born children, maternal residence in zip codes with high concentrated disadvantage, and a prior CPS report. System responses were dependent on the subtype of maltreatment and type of diagnostic code used. Specifically, physical abuse and codes specifically related to maltreatment had higher rates of CPS reports and removals compared to the other maltreatment subtypes and diagnostic codes not specifically related to maltreatment. These results provide new knowledge regarding child maltreatment. The results can be used to target prevention programming, which are identifiable at birth, increasing their utility. The new knowledge identified through this study has important implications for our understanding of child maltreatment, how we can prevent it, and how current systems are responding to it.
