Using a validated algorithm, the OASIS team used the Ontario health administrative databases to assemble a cohort of all individuals in Ontario, aged 0 to 99 years of age, with asthma, from 1996 to present. It continues to provide measures of asthma-related morbidity, mortality, health services use, and provider practice patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Objective<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The overall objective of OASIS is to provide ongoing asthma surveillance statistics, including incidence, prevalence and health services use, in Ontario.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Significance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The population-based assessments of asthma health made possible by surveillance will serve as a benchmark to monitor future changes in diagnoses, treatment, management and health services use in asthma. Profiles will be generated by established regional networks (i.e. Local Health Integration Networks) to examine practice variation and to monitor the impact and costs of asthma.<\/p>\n<p>This proposed system lays the foundation for researchers to identify barriers to optimal disease management, risk factors and burden of co-morbidities. It will also assist policy makers in targeting health programs toward populations more accurately in order to develop structures to support effective, efficient and accessible asthma care. In concert with other planned initiatives, this system\u00a0will prove invaluable in allowing long-term follow-up and assessment of other asthma plan of action initiatives.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ethics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The OASIS project has undergone the ethical approval process through the\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sickkids.ca\/Research\/REB\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research Ethics Board<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>at SickKids.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Learn more about ou<\/span>r\u00a0<a title=\"OASIS: VISION, MISSION AND METHODOLOGY\" href=\"https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/oasis\/vision-mission\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff\">Vision, Mission\u00a0&amp;\u00a0Methodology<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Funding<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">OASIS is funded by the Government of Ontario and by the SickKids Foundation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12561 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/oasis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/11\/Ontario-health-and-long-term-care-logo-e1434633826955.png\" alt=\"MOHLTC\" width=\"149\" height=\"82\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12562 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lab.research.sickkids.ca\/oasis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2014\/11\/sickkids_foundation_logo.gif\" alt=\"sickkids_foundation_logo\" width=\"149\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10962","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.0 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
