A recent study from the University of Ottawa and the University of Manitoba has shed light on the importance of common language in the patient-doctor relationship in reducing cardiovascular disease and improving overall health outcomes. The research, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, focused on the impact of language concordance between patients and healthcare providers on cardiovascular events and mortality rates.

The study, led by Michael Reaume, a resident in the Faculty of Medicine’s Department of Nephrology, analyzed data from 124,583 respondents who spoke nearly 100 different languages. The findings revealed that Canadians living with hypertension who received care from a doctor who spoke their preferred language were 36% less likely to experience a major adverse cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack, heart failure, or stroke. Additionally, patients who received care from a language-concordant doctor were 28% less likely to die compared to those who did not have language-concordant care.

According to Reaume, the impact of language barriers in healthcare is significant and should be addressed proactively. He emphasized the importance of systematically collecting information on patients’ preferred language to ensure they are matched with healthcare providers who can communicate effectively. This approach not only improves patient-provider communication but also enhances the overall quality of care and health outcomes.

The study proposed several recommendations to optimize language-concordant care and promote linguistic diversity in healthcare. These recommendations include advocating for equitable access to medical education for minority language communities, collecting information on the languages spoken by patients and healthcare providers, and implementing strategies to match patients with language-concordant providers.

In conclusion, the study highlights the critical role of language in healthcare and its impact on cardiovascular outcomes and mortality rates. By addressing language barriers and promoting language concordance between patients and healthcare providers, we can improve patient outcomes, reduce cardiovascular events, and ultimately enhance overall population health. This research underscores the importance of prioritizing language diversity in healthcare systems to ensure equitable access to quality care for all patients.
