Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate and past cumulative effects of oral glucocorticoids on the risk of acute myocardial infarction in rheumatoid arthritis: a population-based study
J Antonio Aviña-Zubieta,Michal Abrahamowicz,Mary A. De Vera,Hyon K. Choi,Eric C. Sayre,M. Mushfiqur Rahman,Marie-Pierre Sylvestre,Willy Wynant,John M. Esdaile,Diane Lacaille +9 more
TL;DR: GCs are associated with an increased risk of MI in RA, an immediate effect mediated through current dosage and a long-term effect of cumulative exposure, which is suggested to be a dual effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative effectiveness of rhythm control vs rate control drug treatment effect on mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Raluca Ionescu-Ittu,Michal Abrahamowicz,Cynthia A. Jackevicius,Vidal Essebag,Mark J. Eisenberg,Willy Wynant,Hugues Richard,Louise Pilote +7 more
TL;DR: In this population-based sample of patients with AF, there is little difference in mortality within 4 years of treatment initiation between patients withAF initiating rhythm control therapy vs those initiating rate control therapy, however, rhythm control Therapy seems to be superior in the long-term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of health services use prior to a first diagnosis of psychosis: the importance of primary care.
Kelly K. Anderson,Rebecca Fuhrer,Willy Wynant,Michal Abrahamowicz,Michal Abrahamowicz,David L. Buckeridge,Ashok Malla,Ashok Malla +7 more
TL;DR: Improving access to primary care may reduce the burden on emergency departments and inpatient units; however, primary care providers may need additional training in the symptoms of early psychosis and referral protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the model-building strategy on inference about nonlinear and time-dependent covariate effects in survival analysis.
Willy Wynant,Michal Abrahamowicz +1 more
TL;DR: In simulations, the impact of the approach used to build the flexible multivariable model on inference about the TD and NL covariate effects is investigated and iterative backward elimination of nonsignificant NL and TD effects from the multivariables model may help discriminate between true and spurious effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Underprescribing of clozapine and unexplained variation in use across hospitals and regions in the Canadian province of Québec.
Eric Latimer,Willy Wynant,Robin E. Clark,Ashok Malla,Erica E. M. Moodie,Robyn Tamblyn,Adonia Naidu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe patterns of clozapine use in the province of Quebec, Canada, using linked government medical claims and hospitalization records for 2003 and 2004.
