TorSaDE is an initiative of the Unit. It is a cohort on the care trajectories of patients with sensitive conditions requiring ambulatory care. The TorSaDE cohort consists of respondent data from various cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), combined with their medical and administrative data for a 20-year period (from 1996 to 2016).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In partnership with the Institut de la statistique du Qu\u00e9bec, the project is designed to make data on care trajectories for a cohort representative of the Quebec population available to Unit-affiliated researchers. This project can generate useful information for clinicians, decision-makers and organizations to improve care trajectories for patients with various health problems, thereby helping to improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n Clara Bolster-Foucault, a PhD candidate in Epidemiology at McGill University in Montreal, will study inequalities in disruptions to aging in place, such as disparities in admissions to long-term care facilities (CHSLDs), using TorSaDe, which provides researchers with data from a care trajectory cohort representative of the Quebec population. \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Colleagues from the Unit\u00e9 de soutien SSA Qu\u00e9bec and their colleagues published this article in the renowned International Journal of Epidemiology to introduce the TorSaDE data cohort.<\/p>\n TorSaDE data cohort now more available<\/h3>\n
