Another Project Receives HRDP-SK Approval!

Dr. Tim Bradley, pediatric cardiologist, and Dr. Darryl Adamko, pediatric respirologist, and have identified that Saskatchewan is the only province not participating in the 1996-established Canadian Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System, which aims to reduce the burden of preventable congenital anomalies in Canada. Together, Dr. Adamko and Dr. Bradley have created a project to address the gap in data on congenital anomalies in Saskatchewan, and through the HRDP-SK, will analyze existing health datasets to identify cases diagnosed at delivery or up to age 18. Their aim is to evaluate the feasibility of using these datasets to better understand the incidence and prevalence of congenital anomalies and examine how geographical and socioeconomic factors influence access to maternal, fetal and pediatric care in Saskatchewan.
