Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health problem worldwide. Although population-based CRC screening is strongly recommended in average-risk population, compliance rates are still far from the desirable rates. High levels of screening uptake are necessary for the success of any screening program. Therefore, the investigation of factors influencing participation is crucial prior to design and launches a population-based organized screening campaign. Several studies have identified screening behaviour factors related to potential participants, providers, or health care system. These influencing factors can also be classified in non-modifiable (i.e., demographic factors, education, health insurance, or income) and modifiable factors (i.e., knowledge about CRC and screening, patient and provider attitudes or structural barriers for screening). Modifiable determinants are of great interest as they are plausible targets for interventions. Interventions at different levels (patient, providers or health care system) have been tested across the studies with different results. This paper analyzes factors related to CRC screening behaviour and potential interventions designed to improve screening uptake.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic debilitating disease with long-lasting comorbidities that impose direct and indirect costs on the health care system. However, limited studies have estimated the burden of this disease in Canada, and no population-based studies have previously addressed this condition. Objectives: This work describes the characteristics of a population-based HS cohort to address the existing knowledge gap on the burden of HS for the Canadian health care system. This cohort will provide a foundation for further studies about clinical outcomes and risk factors of HS by providing opportunities for merging additional databases. Methods: Data on demographic information, morbidities, relative resource use, and the cost of sectorial services were obtained from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). All residents of Ontario covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) between April 1, 2002, and March 31, 2013, who underwent surgery for HS, defined by OHIP billing codes, were included. Results: A total of 6244 cases were included in the analysis, following quality control procedures. Twice as many females were treated surgically relative to males. The majority of individuals treated were under the age of 64, with more than half having a moderate level of morbidity (according to Resource Utilization Bands defined by the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Group Classification System). Conclusions: This cohort study is the first population-based resource about HS in Canada. Administrative population-based databases provide essential information to assess the burden of chronic diseases and identify factors associated with higher cost.
