This dataset compiles daily counts of patients (both COVID-related and non-COVID-related) in adult and pediatric ICU beds and the number of adult and pediatric ICU beds that are unoccupied. **Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool ** Data includes: * date * number of adults in ICU for COVID-related critical illness (CRCI)_**_ * number of adults in ICU for non-CRCI reasons * number of adult ICU beds that are unoccupied * total number of adults in ICU for any reason * number of patients in pediatric ICU for COVID-related critical illness (CRCI)_**_ * number of patients in pediatric ICU beds for non-CRCI reasons * number of pediatric ICU beds that are unoccupied * total number of patients in pediatric ICU beds for any reason **These results may not match the CRCI cases in ICU reported elsewhere (on Ontario.ca) as they are restricted to either adults only or pediatric patients only and do not include cases in other ICU bed types. * ICU data includes patients in levels 2 and 3 adult or pediatric ICU beds. The reported numbers reflect the previous day’s values. Patients are counted at a single point in time (11:59 pm) to ensure that each person is only counted once, and their COVID status is updated at 6 am, prior to posting. This may vary slightly from similar sources who update at different times. * COVID-related critical illness (CRCI) includes patients currently testing positive for COVID and patients in ICU due to COVID who are no longer testing positive for COVID. * Since the start of the pandemic, the province has invested in “incremental” ICU beds to accommodate potential surges in ICU demand due to COVID. These beds were added at various points in time (i.e., October 2020, February 2021, April 2021) to ensure system preparedness and meet operational needs. Aligned with the decline of Wave 3 and COVID-related pressures and at the direction of Ontario Health, a number of these beds were brought offline in July 2021. These events account for the sudden increases and/or decreases in ICU beds seen in the data. The number of ICU beds continues to fluctuate slightly as beds are brought on and offline to meet localized demands/need. ##Modifications to this data Data for the period of October 24, 2023 to March 24, 2024 excludes hospitals in the West region who were experiencing data availability issues. Daily adult, pediatric, and neonatal patient ICU census data were impacted by technical issues between September 9 and October 20, 2023. As a result, when public reporting resumes on November 16, 2023, historical ICU data for this time period will be excluded. January 18, 2022: Information on pediatric ICU beds was added to the file for the period of May 2020 to present. January 7, 2022: Due to some methodology changes, historical data were impacted during the following timeframes: * May 1, 2020 to October 22, 2020. * February 19, 2021 to July 26, 2021. ###How the data was impacted To ensure system preparedness throughout the pandemic, hospitals were asked to identify the number of beds (i.e., non-ICU beds) and related resources that could be made available within 24 hours for use as an ICU bed in case of a surge in COVID patients. These beds were considered expanded ICU capacity and were not used to calculate hospitals’ ICU occupancy. These beds were previously included in this data. The current numbers include only funded ICU beds based on data from the Critical Care Information System (CCIS).

In 2023, around 192 out of 100,000 Canadians died from major cardiovascular diseases. In 2000, the death rate stood at over 247 deaths per 100,000. This statistic displays the age-standardized death rate for major cardiovascular diseases in Canada from 2000 to 2023. Cardiovascular health Cardiovascular health and disease has come to the forefront of healthcare in recent years, as the burden due to these diseases and related conditions has increased over time in an aging population. Public health strategies are focused on reducing the impact of cardiovascular conditions through education and interventions targeted at decreasing the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases- many of which involve lifestyle and diet elements. Medical interventions for cardiovascular disease can range from emergency interventions to surgical procedures to pharmacological treatments: in Canada, medications for the cardiovascular system held over two percent of the sales share for patented drugs in 2021. Causes of death in Canada Worldwide, Canada ranks in the top twenty countries for life expectancy and is well above the OECD average, with the average life expectancy higher for Canadian women than for men. Much like in other developed countries, malignant neoplasms join cardiovascular diseases in the leading causes of death in Canada; other main causes of death in the country include accidents, cerebrovascular diseases, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Over the past couple decades, the age-standardized death rate for all causes among Canada’s population has increased; in 2023, it reached nearly 814 per 100,000 population.

This dataset is subject to change. Please review the daily epidemiologic summaries for information on variables, methodology, and technical considerations. ##Cumulative Deaths **Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool ** The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the columns “Deaths”, “Deaths_Data_Cleaning” and “newly_reported_deaths” starting with data for March 11, 2022. A new column has been added to the file “Deaths_New_Methodology” which represents the methodological change. The method used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed, effective December 1, 2022. Prior to December 1, 2022, deaths were counted based on the date the death was updated in the public health unit’s system. Going forward, deaths are counted on the date they occurred. On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. A small number of COVID deaths (less than 20) do not have recorded death date and will be excluded from this file. CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags. ##Related dataset(s) * Confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Ontario

BackgroundCare partners are individuals chosen by a person with an illness to support their care during hospitalization. Patients with persistent critical illness have longer than average critical care admission and often other conditions including dysphagia, communication vulnerability, severe physical deconditioning, the need for an artificial airway, and difficulty weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation. Family presence has been identified as important for patients experiencing persistent critical illness in specialized weaning centers. Despite this, the role of care partners in clinical settings for patients with persistent critical illness has not been fully characterized, particularly from the perspectives of patients, care partners, and health care providers. The aim of this study was to gain insights into the roles of care partners during persistent critical illness from the perspectives of patients, care partners, and health care providers.MethodsWe used qualitative descriptive methodology including semi-structured interviews and content analysis. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Included participants (n = 30) were patient survivors (n = 7), care partners of patient survivors (n = 9), and professionally diverse health care providers (n = 14) of adult patients with persistent critical illness from two specialized units in one community academic hospital in Toronto, Canada.ResultsParticipants across all groups described care partner roles that included physical, mental health, cognitive, social, and spiritual support of the patient, including the perceived role of safeguarding the multiple dimensions of care for the patient who is experiencing persistent critical care in specialized care settings.DiscussionThe results of this study are being used to co-design, implement, and evaluate a sustainable care partner program that is acceptable, appropriate, and feasible to implement in clinical settings where the care of patients with persistent critical illness occurs.Reporting methodConsolidated criteria for reporting qualitative studies (COREQ).

BCCDC/PHSA/B.C. Ministry of Health data sources are available at the links below:Cases Totals (spatial)Case DetailsLaboratory Testing InformationRegional Summary DataData Over TimeThe number of laboratory tests performed and positivity rate over time are reported by the date of test result. See “Laboratory Indicators” section for more details.Laboratory confirmed cases are reported based on the client's first positive lab result.As of April 2, 2022, cases include laboratory-diagnosed cases (confirmed and probable) funded under Medical Services Plan.From January 7, 2021 to April 1, 2022, cases included those reported by the health authorities and those with positive laboratory results reported to the BCCDC. The number of cases over time is reported by the result date of the client's first positive lab result where available; otherwise by the date they are reported to public health. Prior to April 2, 2022, total COVID-19 cases included laboratory-diagnosed cases (confirmed and probable) as well as epi-linked cases. Prior to June 4, 2020, the total number of cases included only laboratory-diagnosed cases.As of January 14, 2022, the data source for "Currently Hospitalized" has changed to better reflect hospital capacity. Comparisons to numbers before this date should not be made.As of April 2, 2022, death is defined as an individual who has died from any cause, within 30 days of a first COVID-19 positive lab result date. Prior to April 22, 2022, death information was collected by Regional Health Authorities and defined as any death related to COVID-19. Comparisons between these time periods are not advised.Epidemiologic Indicators"Currently Hospitalized" is the number of people who test positive for COVID-19 through hospital screening practices, regardless of the reason for admission, as recorded in PCMS on the day the dashboard is refreshed. It is reported by the hospital in which the patient is hospitalized, rather than the patient's health authority of residence.Critical care values (intensive care units, high acuity units, and other critical care surge beds) include individuals who test positive for COVID-19 and are in critical care, as recorded in PCMS.The 7-day moving average is an average daily value over the 7 days up to and including the selected date. The 7-day window moved - or changes - with each new day of data. It is used to smooth new daily case and death counts or rates to mitigate the impact of short-term fluctuations and to more clearly identify the most recent trend over time.The following epidemiological indicators are included in the provincial case data file:Date: date of the client's first positive lab result.HA: health authority assigned to the caseSex: the sex of the clientAge_Group: the age group of the clientClassification_Reported: whether the case has been lab-diagnosed or is epidemiologically linked to another caseThe following epidemiological indicators are included in the regional summary data file:Cases_Reported: the number of cases for the health authority (HA) and health service delivery area (HSDA)Cases_Reported_Smoothed: Seven day moving average for reported casesLaboratory IndicatorsTests represent the number of all COVID-19 tests reported to the BCCDC Public Helath Laboratory since testing began mid-January 2020. Only tests for residents of B.C. are included.COVID-19 positivity rate is calculated for each day as the ratio of 7-day rolling average of number of positive specimens to 7-day rolling average of the total number of specimens tested (positive, negative, indeterminate and invalid). A 7-day rolling average applied to all testing data corrects for uneven data release patterns while accurately representing the provincial positivity trends. It avoids misleading daily peaks and valleys due to varying capacities and reporting cadences.Turn-around time is calculated as the daily average time (in hours) between specimen collection and report of a test result. Turn-around time includes the time to ship specimens to the lab; patients who live farther away are expected to have slightly longer average turn around times.The rate of COVID-19 testing per million population is defined as the cumulative number of people tested for COVID-19/B.C. population x 1,000,000. B.C. Please note: the same person may be tested multiple times, thus it is not possible to derive this rate directly from the number of cumulative tests reported on the B.C. COVID-19 Dashboard.Testing context: COVID-19 diagnostic testing and laboratory test guidelines have changed in British Columbia over time. B.C.'s testing strategy has been characterized by four phases: 1) Exposure-based testing (start of pandemic), 2) Targeted testing (March 16, 2020), 3) Expanded testing (April 9, 2020), 4) Symptom-based testing (April 21, 2020), and 5) Symptom-based testing for targeted populations (a-are at risk of more severe disease and/or b-live or work in high-risk settings such as healthcare workers) and Rapid Antigen Tests deployment (January 18, 2022). Due to changes in testing strategies in BC in 2022, focusing on targeted higher risk populations, current case counts are an underestimate of the true number of COVID-19 cases in BC and may not be representative of the situation in the community.
The following laboratory indicators are included in the provincial laboratory data file:New_Tests: the number of new COVID-19 testsTotal_Tests: the total number of COVID-19 testsPositivity: the positivity rate for COVID-19 testsTurn_Around: the turnaround time for COVID-19 testsBC Testing Rate: Total PCR + POC tests per day (excluding POC that were confirmed by PCR within 7 days) / Population using BC Stats PEOPLE2021 population projections for the year 2022 * 100,000.Health Authority AssignmentCases are reported by health authority of residence.As of April 2, 2022, cases are reported based on the address provided at the time of testing; when not available, by location of the provider ordering the lab test.As of April 2, 2022,

"Good health is a major resource for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of quality of life. Healthy, productive citizens reduce the burden on the health care system and contribute to a strong economy.

In general, Canada is a healthy nation. Over the past several decades the overall mortality rate and life expectancy have improved considerably, and in general, Canada compares well with the other developed nations. Nevertheless, Canada continues to face significant public health challenges in preventing chronic diseases. Major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) and diabetes are the cause of 65% of all deaths in Canada each year and are the leading causes of death globally. In addition, depression and anxiety disorders are respectively, the second and eighth leading causes of years of life lost due to disability globally.

This Trend Analysis examines the last ten to fifteen years of available data investigating key risk factors, major chronic diseases and mood and anxiety disorders as well as overall life expectancy "
