Posted on by pathwp

Congratulations to Aleksandra Budarick, Dr. Cheryl Hubley-Kozey, Dr. Rebecca Moyer and team on their new article, “Quality of Non-Surgical and Non-Pharmacological Knee Osteoarthritis Care in the Maritimes.” Participants with osteoarthritis from Atlantic PATH were invited to participate in an ancillary study about the Current Management and Health Care Quality for Patients with Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis. Over half of individuals with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis did not receive recommended core treatments in the Maritimes, highlighting a need to improve care for this patient group.

Congratulations to Dr. Cheryl Kozey and team on their completed study and new report, Current Management and Health Care Use for People with Osteoarthritis. The team used existing data from Atlantic PATH to examine self-reported characteristics of people living with and without osteoarthritis in all three Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island).  The Atlantic PATH data for Nova Scotians was then linked to administrative data, accessed through Health Data Nova Scotia, in order to identify trends in health care use by Nova Scotians with and without osteoarthritis. A copy of the summary report can be found here: https://mssu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/OA-Maritimes-Summary-Report_2023-02-10.pdf An infographic characterizing the the participants and findings can be found here: https://mssu.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/OA-Maritimes-Infographic.pdf
