Cohorts for comparison were created using the Population Grouper by identifying individuals with the conditions most similar to those who received MAiD. The following groups were compared: a) MAiD recipients receiving palliative care were compared to all Ontarians who received palliative care. b) MAiD recipients aged 60 years and older with (1) any cancer, (2) metastatic cancer, or (3) lung cancer were compared to all Ontarians aged 60 years and older with these diagnoses.
