Achievement of treatment targets among patients with type 2 diabetes in 2015 and 2020 in Canadian primary care.

Background: An update on the degree to which patients with type 2 diabetes in Canada achieve treatment targets is needed to document progress and identify subgroups that need attention. We sought to estimate the frequency with which patients managed in primary care met treatment targets (i.e.

The association between cardiac intensive care unit mechanical ventilation volumes and in-hospital mortality.

Aims: The incidence of respiratory failure and use of invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) in the cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) is increasing. While institutional MV volumes are associated with reduced mortality in medical and surgical ICUs, this volume-mortality relationship has not been characterized in the CICU.

Methods And Results: National population-based data were used to identify patients admitted to CICUs (2005-2015) requiring MV in Canada.
