Introduction to Statistical Disease Cluster Detection with Health Administrative Data
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
Disease processes have patterns and when disease varies in space, spatial patterns are produced. Identifying and quantifying patterns of disease in geographic areas may lead to a better understanding of why a disease occurs.

Survival analysis or time-to-event analyses have been popularized for making predictions about future events based on some exposure in the past. The methods are familiar to epidemiologists but also to actuarial scientists / insurance companies to estimate risk.
Does attending a specialist lipid clinic reduce rates of adverse cardiovascular events?
Data access has been approved for a project to determine whether attending the Healthy Heart Program Prevention Clinic (HHPPC), at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, is associated with reduced rates of adverse cardiovascular events, compared to patients who did not attend the clinic.
Fraser Health Research Week
This edition of Research Week will explore the impacts and innovations that have emerged out of Fraser Health’s COVID-19 pandemic research and evaluation response.
Can a better understanding of the ‘forgotten valve’ help patients with heart disease?
The tricuspid valve, on the right side of the heart, separates the upper and lower chambers, also known as the right atrium and right ventricle. The valve allows deoxygenated blood to flow through both of the chambers. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, where it is oxygenated.
