Abstract

A growing number of healthcare policy initiatives around the world have focused on the continuum of care amongst the elderly, calling for renewed investments in integrated care to promote healthy aging and to reduce health system costs. The study objective was to examine healthcare costs and cost drivers for myocardial infarction (AMI) among Canadian Seniors across the care continuum from 2004 to 2012 in Ontario, Canada. Cost estimates represented direct community and hospital-based costs including physician services, diagnostic-testing, pharmaceuticals and hospitalizations obtained from Canadian healthcare data sources. Separate costs were calculated for pre-state care, the hospital event, and post-state care over a 6year care continuum. Socio-demographic and co-morbid cost drivers were studied using negative binomial regression in a cohort of 16,450 first-time AMI seniors.
