All-cause and cause-specific hospitalization rates among temporary and permanent residents living in Canada: A linkage study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Increased understanding of migrant health outcomes is important for health policy and planning and to support continuity of care for Canadian newcomers. The objective of this study is to expand on previous migrant health research by examining age-standardized hospitalization rates (ASHR) among temporary residents (TRs) and permanent residents (PRs) living in Canada from 2014 to 2018.

Methods

Hospitalization outcomes were obtained by linking administrative health databases to the Longitudinal Immigration Database. TRs and PRs were characterized by covariates including age, sex, migration category, and immigration status transition. All-cause and select cause-specific ASHRs were calculated, including hospitalizations for cancer, injury, and mental and health conditio
