Figure 1
Proportion of children admitted to hospital with chronic conditions (papers used for the UK and USA7 23 27) groups: (1) children with emergency admissions for accident-related injuries; (2) children with emergency admissions for adversity-related injuries (drug/alcohol use, self-harm or violence); (3) all hospitalised children; (4) children with a first emergency admission; (5) children with a laboratory-confirmed bloodstream infection; (6) children who died; (7) children with four or more emergency admissions in 1 year. All UK papers used the ‘look-back method’ and included hospitalisations records from the 12 months prior to the index admission to define whether children had a chronic condition. US papers only included diagnosis codes entered for the index admission.
