COAST
The Comparative Outcomes And Service Utilization Trends (COAST) study is a population-based study that aims to examine the health outcomes and health service use of HIV-positive men and women, including both those who are accessing and not accessing antiretroviral therapy, as compared to a random ten percent sample of the total population of British Columbia (BC). The study comprises two defined cohorts of adults (≥ 19 years) differentiated by their HIV status and with de-identified health-related data on antiretroviral and health service use from the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and Population Data BC, respectively. The study currently has linked data from 1996 to 2013, with future data linkages planned for additional years.
COAST has two major aims: 1) to evaluate health outcomes related to antiretroviral and health care services use among HIV-positive adults; and, 2) to assess how these health outcomes differ from those observed in a random sample of the total population of BC. COAST is uniquely positioned to assess health outcomes and resource utilization because it is the only study that allows a comparison between HIV-positive individuals and the general population of British Columbia, on a population-wide basis. The COAST study is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).

Changes in Mortality Rates and Causes of Death in a Population-Based Cohort of Persons Living with and Without HIV from 1996 to 2012
In this study, we aimed to characterize and compare changes over time (from 1996 to 2012) in mortality rates and causes of death among persons living with and without HIV in British Columbia.
