    Abstract Globally, RSV is a common viral pathogen that causes 64 million acute respiratory infections annually. Our objective was to determine the incidence of hospitalization, healthcare resource use and associated costs of adults hospitalized with RSV in Ontario, Canada. To describe the epidemiology of adults hospitalized with RSV, we used a validated algorithm applied to a population-based healthcare utilization administrative dataset in Ontario, Canada. We created a retrospective cohort of incident hospitalized adults with RSV between September 2010 and August 2017 and followed each person for up to two years. To determine the burden of illness associated with hospitalization and post-discharge healthcare encounters each RSV-admitted patient was matched to two unexposed controls based on demographics and risk factors. Patient demographics were described and mean attributable 6-month and 2-year healthcare costs (2019 Canadian dollars) were estimated. There were 7,091 adults with RSV-associated hospitalizations between 2010 and 2019 with a mean age of 74.6 years; 60.4 % were female. RSV-coded hospitalization rates increased from 1.4 to 14.6 per 100,000 adults between 2010–2011 and 2018–2019. The mean difference in healthcare costs between RSV-admitted patients and matched controls was $28,260 (95 % CI: $27,728 - $28,793) in the first 6 months and $43,721 over 2 years (95 % CI: $40,383 – $47,059) post-hospitalization. RSV hospitalizations among adults increased in Ontario between 2010/11 to 2018/19 RSV seasons. RSV hospitalizations in adults were associated with increased attributable short-term and long-term healthcare costs compared to matched controls. Interventions that could prevent RSV in adults may reduce healthcare burden.

    Abstract Objective: To describe the direct and indirect cost estimates of dry eye disease (DED), stratified by disease severity, and the impact of DED on quality of life (QoL) in Canadian patients.
    Methods and analysis: A prospective, multicentre, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at six sites across Canada. Eligible patients completed a 20 min survey on demography, general health, disease severity, QoL and direct (resource utilisation and out-of-pocket expenses for the past 3-24 months) and indirect costs (absenteeism and presenteeism based on Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire responses). Subgroup analyses were performed according to DED severity and presence of Sjögren's syndrome.
    Results: Responses from 146 of 151 participants were included in the analysis. DED was rated as moderate or severe by 19.2% and 69.2% of patients, respectively. Total mean annual costs of DED were $C24 331 (Canadian dollars) per patient and increased with patient-reported disease severity. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) indirect costs for mild, moderate and severe disease were $C5961 ($C6275), $C16 525 ($C11 607), and $C25 485 ($C22,879), respectively. Mean (SD) direct costs were $C958 ($C1216), $C1303 ($C1574) and $C2766 ($C7161), respectively. QoL scores were lowest in patients with Sjögren's syndrome (8.2% of cohort) and those with severe DED.
    Conclusion: This study provides important insights into the negative impact of DED in a Canadian setting. Severe DED was associated with higher direct and indirect costs and lower QoL compared with those with mild or moderate disease. Increased costs and poorer QoL were also evident for patients with DED plus Sjögren's syndrome versus DED alone.

    Abstract The objectives of this review were to: 1) examine recent strategies and component interventions used to overcome therapeutic inertia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 2) map strategies to the causes of therapeutic inertia they target and 3) identify causes of therapeutic inertia in T2DM that have not been targeted by recent strategies. A systematic search of the literature published from January 2014 to December 2019 was conducted to identify strategies targeting therapeutic inertia in T2DM, and key strategy characteristics were extracted and summarized. The search identified 46 articles, employing a total of 50 strategies aimed at overcoming therapeutic inertia. Strategies were composed of an average of 3.3 interventions (range, 1 to 10) aimed at an average of 3.6 causes (range, 1 to 9); most (78%) included a type of educational strategy. Most strategies targeted causes of inertia at the patient (38%) or health-care professional (26%) levels only and 8% targeted health-care-system-level causes, whereas 28% targeted causes at multiple levels. No strategies focused on patients' attitudes toward disease or lack of trust in health-care professionals; none addressed health-care professionals' concerns over costs or lack of information on side effects/fear of causing harm, or the lack of a health-care-system-level disease registry. Strategies to overcome therapeutic inertia in T2DM commonly employed multiple interventions, but novel strategies with interventions that simultaneously target multiple levels warrant further study. Although educational interventions are commonly used to address therapeutic inertia, future strategies may benefit from addressing a wider range of determinants of behaviour change to overcome therapeutic inertia.

    Abstract Objectives: Therapeutic inertia in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is the failure to receive timely treatment intensification as indicated according to T2DM treatment guidelines. Multifactorial causes of therapeutic inertia in T2DM have been documented at the level of persons with diabetes (PwD), health-care providers and health-care systems.
    Methods: We developed a 3-part mixed-methods research program, called the Moving to Overcome Therapeutic Inertia Obstacles Now in T2DM (MOTION) study, to inform the development of strategies to address therapeutic inertia in T2DM. We present the results from focus groups with the following objectives: 1) understanding PwD and general practitioner/family practitioner (GPFP) determinants of behaviour related to treatment intensification using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF); and 2) identifying the sources of behaviours contributing to therapeutic inertia in T2DM, as proposed by the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW). Two focus groups with PwD and 4 with GPFPs were conducted. Transcripts from the focus groups were coded independently by 2 investigators to identify themes, then mapped to TDF domains and linked using the BCW.
    Results: For PwD, the most commonly coded TDF domains were intentions, goals, knowledge, beliefs about consequences and social influences. For GPFPs, the most common domains were intentions, environmental context and resources and social/professional role and identity. The BCW identified that PwD interventions should include reflective motivation, psychological capability and social opportunity; GPFP interventions should include physical opportunity, social opportunity and reflective motivation.
    Conclusions: Comprehensive strategies that target both PwD and GPFP barriers would encourage a more collaborative approach toward treatment intensification decisions and reducing therapeutic inertia.

    Abstract Objectives: Although multiple causes of therapeutic inertia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been identified, few studies have addressed the behavioural aspects of treatment-intensification decisions among persons with type 2 diabetes (PwT2DM) and general practitioners/family practitioners (GPFPs).
    Methods: A quantitative online survey was developed to capture from 300 PwT2DM and 100 GPFPs the following information: 1) perspectives on shared decision-making (SDM) related to treatment intensification, using the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire and the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire---physician version; 2) intentions to intensify treatments, using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB); and 3) preferred strategies to overcome causes of therapeutic inertia in T2DM. Regression methods were applied post hoc to examine correlations with SDM scores, behavioural intentions and behaviours.
    Results: SDM scores showed a significantly lower level of perceived involvement in decision-making related to treatment intensification among PwT2DM compared with GPFPs. The TPB identified that, for PwT2DM, attitudes, perceived behavioural control and age were associated with variation in intention to intensify treatment and, for GPFPs, perceived behavioural control and not being in a shared/group practice were associated with intentions to intensify treatment. PwT2DM behaviour, measured as hesitancy to intensify treatment, was associated with age. PwT2DM want more information to become more comfortable with the treatment decision-making process, whereas GPFPs desired support from other health professionals, and more time to address issues among PwT2DM.
    Conclusions: Strategies directed at providing GPFPs with tools/approaches to increase PwT2DM involvement in the decision-making process, such as behavioural coaching, decision aids and goal setting, may increase acceptance of treatment intensification, leading to a reduction in therapeutic inertia in T2DM.

    Abstract Aim: To better understand the healthcare burden of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
    Materials and methods: We used administrative data to evaluate the prevalence of T2D, eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
    Results: While the prevalence of T2D in the general population aged ≥ 30 years in Ontario increased by 1.8% over a 5-year period (2011-2012 to 2015-2016), the prevalence of eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: This real-world retrospective study highlights an increasing prevalence of T2D, eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m
