The Impact of Surgery on Work and Earnings for those with Degenerative Conditions of the Spine, Hip and Knee (017-2021)

The specific aim of this project is to study the impact of surgery on employment and earnings for patients with osteoarthritis of the spine, hip and knee. This new data is designed to allow an objective assessment of the impact of surgery for end-stage osteoarthritis on workforce participation and productivity and will provide much needed insights into the economic effects of these interventions for common debilitating conditions.

This data integration project brings together longitudinal health and earnings data. Healthcare data are derived from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) and the Canadian Community Health Survey – Annual Component (CCHS). Earnings are obtained from the T1 Family File, which contains yearly tax returns for all Canadians.

Statistics Canada has a long history of creating, using and making available record linkages. Record linkage is an important and cost-effective statistical technique used to develop data products that support advanced research and provide new insights on important social issues, such as health outcomes and disparities in subsectors of the Canadian population.

For the current release, analytical files DAD-NACRS-CCHS-T1FF are updated to include additional variables about the number of young children and the number of individuals aged 18 or over.
