The population included all persons, aged 18 y and over, eligible for the health insurance registry, who received an ECT treatment at least once during the year.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among recorded cases, 75% were identified by physician claims and hospitalisation files, 19% exclusively by physician claims, and 6% by hospitalisation files. From 1996 to 2013, 8,149 persons in Quebec received ECT with an annual prevalence rate of 13 per 100,000. A decline was observed, which was more pronounced in women and in older persons. On average, each patient received 9.7 treatments of ECT annually. The proportion of acute ECT decreased whereas maintenance treatment proportions increased. A wide variation in the use of ECT was observed among regions and psychiatrists.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrates the profitable use of administrative data to monitor ECT use in Quebec, and provides a reliable method that could be replicated in other Canadian provinces. Although Quebec has one of the lowest utilisation rates reported in industrialized countries, regional disparities highlighted the need for a deeper examination of the quality and monitoring of ECT care and services.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0706743717738492","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,25]],"date-time":"2017-10-25T22:44:32Z","timestamp":1508971472000},"page":"465-473","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Electroconvulsive Therapy Practice in the Province of Quebec: Linked Health Administrative Data Study from 1996 to 2013"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Morgane","family":"Lemasson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre d\u2019Excellence en \u00c9lectroconvulsivoth\u00e9rapie du Qu\u00e9bec, Institut universitaire en sant\u00e9 mentale de Montr\u00e9al, Montreal, Quebec."},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Montreal, Montreal.
