Exploring the Association between Parental Concern about Vaccine Safety and Incomplete Childhood Immunization: A Multivariate Model
DownloadSpring 2013
High levels of immunization coverage are required to maintain control of infectious diseases that previously caused significant illness and death in Canada. However, childhood immunizations have been so successful that many Canadians have never seen the impact of these diseases, with some parents...

Influenza Vaccination in Patients with Diabetes: Exploration of the Healthy User in Pharmacoepidemiology Studies
DownloadFall 2015
Pharmacoepidemiologic studies of preventive medications or therapies are prone to the healthy user bias, as patients who are prescribed and adhere to preventive medications/therapies are likely different than patients not receiving these medications in multiple aspects of their lives. These...

Instruments for Scoring Pain, Non-Pain Related Distress, Analgesia, and Sedation in Pediatric Mechanically Ventilated Patients and their Efficacy and Effectiveness in Practice: A Systematic Review
DownloadFall 2012
Objective pain and sedation assessment scales to standardize measures of distress in mechanically ventilated pediatric patients are increasingly available, but few have been evaluated for efficacy and effectiveness in this population. The purpose of paper one was to identify and evaluate...

Mathematical Models and Inverse Algorithms for Childhood Infectious Diseases with Vaccination - Case Studies in Measles
DownloadFall 2014
Children are at a high risk of infection since they have not yet developed mature immunity. Childhood infectious diseases, such as measles, chicken pox and mumps, remain epidemic and endemic around the world. Yet, their dynamics are still not fully understood. SIR-type models have been proposed...
