“…For example, the per patient per year costs of cardiovascular disease have been reported as ranging from $3805 (2004 CDN $) 26 to $27 772 (2004 CDN $). 27 Similarly, a recent cost effectiveness study on heart failure clinics in Ontario, Canada determined that the per patient per year cost in standard clinics was $15 987 (2008 CDN $). 28 Finally, Chang et al 29 determined the mean total costs per patient for cancer were $39 155 (2004 CDN $).…”

), from the time of initial hospitalization to 1 year after initial acute discharge among individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Ontario, Canada. Methods: Health system costs were calculated for 559 individuals with traumatic SCI (C1-T12 AIS A-D) for acute inpatient, emergency department, inpatient rehabilitation (that is, short-stay inpatient rehabilitation), complex continuing care (CCC) (i.e., longstay inpatient rehabilitation), home care services, and physician visits in the year after index hospitalization. All care costs were calculated from the government payer 0 s perspective, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. INTRODUCTIONSpinal cord injury (SCI) results in a variety of acute motor, sensory and autonomic impairments typically requiring tertiary care and rehabilitation to optimize patient outcomes. In the province of Ontario, advances in prehospital (critical), acute care and early surgical decompression 1 have resulted in improved survival and an increasing number of persons with SCI seeking specialized rehabilitation services to augment their neurologic and functional recovery. Accompanying reduced acute care lengths of stay before inpatient rehabilitation admission are changing the required resource intensity and service provision models. 2 After discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, individuals with SCI continue to be predisposed to multiple impairments, and an increased propensity for related secondary health complications. 3 In the months and years after the initial acute care episode, previous research has demonstrated that increased risk of secondary complications is associated with frequent physician contact and hospitalizations. [4][5][6][7] This finding was recently supported by our research team in two studies on physician utilization and rehospitalization among adults with traumatic SCI in Ontario,

“…The classification is based on recommendations whereby any suspicious abnormalities captured during screening mammography requires further imaging diagnostically or histologic analysis whenever surgeons find necessary (Hisham and Yip, 2004;Sasser et al, 2005).…”

“…However, with 1 in 20 women in the country develops breast cancer in their lifetime, urgent measures should be taken to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by the disease (Hisham and Yip, 2004). The malignancy results in significant economic burden to our country due to costly medical treatment and productivity losses (Sasser et al, 2005). National Cancer Control Program had joined hand with multidisciplinary professionals in order to reduce the incidence and mortality due to breast cancer.…”

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a potential supplement for mammogram screening. This study aimed to evaluate and feasibility of EIT as opposed to mammography and to determine pain perception with both imaging methods. Women undergoing screening mammography at the Radiology Department of National University of Malaysia Medical Centre were randomly selected for EIT imaging. All women were requested to give a pain score after each imaging session. Two independent raters were chosen to define the image findings of EIT. A total of 164 women in the age range from 40 to 65-year-old participated and were divided into two groups; normal and abnormal. EIT sensitivity and specificity for rater 1 were 69.4% and 63.3, whereas for rater 2 they were 55.3% and 57.0% respectively. The reliability for each rater ranged between good to very good (p<0.05). Quantitative values of EIT showed there were significant differences in all values between groups (ANCOVA, p<0.05). Interestingly, EIT scored a median pain score of 1.51±0.75 whereas mammography scored 4.15±0.87 (Mann Whitney U test, p<0.05). From these quantitative values, EIT has the potential as a health discriminating index. Its ability to replace image findings from mammography needs further investigation.
