New study - Duration of risk reduction in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality after a complete colonoscopy in Ontario, Canada: a population-based cohort study
Compared with those who do not receive colonoscopy, individuals who have a negative colonoscopy result remain at lower risk for colorectal cancer incidence and mortality more than 15 years after the procedure. The current recommendation of repeat screening at 10 years in these individuals should be reassessed.
New study - Mode of delivery and birth outcomes before and during COVID-19: a population-based study in Ontario, Canada
During the pandemic, healthcare utilization, especially ED visits (aRR = 0.83), in pregnant women was lower compared to before. Ensuring ongoing prenatal care during the pandemic may reduce risks of adverse mode of delivery and the need for acute care during pregnancy.
New study - Association between immigration status and total knee arthroplasty outcomes in Ontario, Canada: a population-based matched cohort study
Compared with Canadian-born patients, immigrants and refugees have favourable surgical outcomes and similar rates of resource utilization after TKA. We observed an underutilization of these procedures in Ontario relative to their proportion of the population. This may reflect differences in perceptions of chronic pain or barriers accessing arthroplasty.

In this?webinar, the research team describe the findings of the Disability and Pregnancy Study, which showed?avoidable pregnancy-related health disparities and barriers to care for people with disabilities. They also identify recommendations to make pregnancy care more equitable and inclusive, through specific actions to modify health care system structures and processes; increase service-provider knowledge and resources; develop accessible patient supports; and strengthen the scientific evidence base.
With an expert panel that includes researchers, people with lived experience of disability, and health and social service providers, the team will discuss next steps in creating an accessible pregnancy care system that considers the needs of people with disabilities.
?We hope you will join us!
Victor Marchessault Advocacy Award: Dr. Natasha Saunders
Congratulations to Dr. Natasha Saunders, Adjunct Scientist, ICES, Life Stage Research Program, who is the recipient of the Victor Marchessault Advocacy Award for her research and advocacy for injury prevention in Canada.
"A primary focus of Dr. Saunders’ scholarship has been firearm injury epidemiology in Canada. Her landmark studies on the extent of, and risk factors for, gun-related injuries in young people have been instrumental to inform injury prevention through policy change. Specifically, her work has led to broad collaborations to unite firearm injury prevention advocates and has been used as evidence for federal legislative change to pass two key firearm bills: Bill C-71 and Bill C-21. Dr. Saunders has published extensively both in Canada and abroad, and her opinion as a national expert on unintentional, assault-related, and self-inflicted firearm injuries is frequently sought."
