Introduction Population studies have shown that only the minority of pancreatic cancer patients receive cancer directed therapy. Methods Primary aim of this study was to evaluate the referral rate for systemic chemotherapy, as a proxy for the quality of health care delivered to patients with pancreatic cancer in the province of Nova Scotia (Canada). The study population included a cohort of all...
BACKGROUND The quality of data comparing care at the end of life (eol) in cancer patients across Canada is poor. This project used identical cohorts and definitions to evaluate quality indicators for eol care in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Nova Scotia.

INTRODUCTION There is little evidence on how primary care providers (PCPs) model their practices in Nova Scotia (NS), Canada, what services they offer or what accessibility is like for the average patient. This study will create a database of all family physicians and primary healthcare nurse practitioners in NS, including information about accessibility and the model of care in which they prac...
Background Seasonal influenza epidemics occur frequently. Rapid characterization of seasonal dynamics and forecasting of epidemic peaks and final sizes could help support real-time decision-making related to vaccination and other control measures. Real-time forecasting remains challenging. Methods We used the previously described "incidence decay with exponential adjustment" (IDEA) model, a 2...
BACKGROUND Estimates of incidence and prevalence are needed to determine disease risk and to plan for health service needs. Although the province of Nova Scotia, Canada is located in a region considered to have a high prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS), epidemiologic data are limited. OBJECTIVE We aimed to validate an administrative case definition for MS and to use this to estimate the in...

(6), this infection was considered to be autoch-thonous, indicating endemicity of the C. gattii VGIIb-like variant in Nova Scotia and highlighting the value of non-migratory animals as sentinels for emerging diseases (7). Incidence for this disease is highest in the Pacific Northwest , where the primary agents are C. gattii VGII genotypes (2,4). A pertinent literature review and consultation wi...
