1
Main results: Multilevel models showed significant geographical variations in healthcare utilisation.
2
Spanish healthcare utilisation, costs and utilities were estimated for each COPD and exacerbation state.
3
As well, those with higher healthcare utilisation (seeking multiple providers) should also be closely monitored.
4
A number of studies have explored the association between childhood overweight and obesity and healthcare utilisation and costs.
5
The socioeconomic level of the residential context and the supply of physicians were independently associated with healthcare utilisation.
6
Introduction: Insomnia is a highly prevalent and costly condition that is associated with increased health risks and healthcare utilisation.
7
Place indicators better explained spatial variations in healthcare utilisation when measured across continuous space, rather than within administrative areas.
8
Results: During the 6-month follow-up period there was no difference in exacerbation rates and healthcare utilisation between the two groups.
9
Previous studies that did not address endogeneity concerns are likely to have significantly underestimated the impact of child overweight and obesity status on healthcare utilisation.
10
We reported 2-year mortality and compared healthcare utilisation and frailty scores in the 2-year periods before and after ICU hospitalisation.
11
Healthcare utilisation in France was taken as an illustrative example in comparing the spatial approach with the multilevel approach.
