A spatial analysis of COPD prevalence, incidence, mortality and health service use in Ontario / by Eric J. Crighton, Rosalind Ragetlie, Jin Luo, Teresa To and Andrea Gershon.: CS82-003/2015-3-2E-PDF
"Risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include smoking, occupational exposure and air pollution, all of which vary geographically, but relatively little is known about how COPD varies spatially. This population-based ecological analysis examines physician-diagnosed COPD prevalence, incidence, mortality, and health care services use in Ontario over a 10-year period. Data were mapped and analyzed at the sub-Local Health Integration Network level (n = 141). Comparative morbidity figures were calculated and analyzed for local clusters of high and low rates of COPD health and health service use outcomes"--Abstract, page 10.
