ABSTRACT

Objective

To compare children and adolescents hospitalized under a continuum of care with those hospitalized under traditional insurance coverage.

Method

With comprehensive data, logistic regressions were used to predict hospitalization and to identify its determinants.

Results

As expected, the probability of being hospitalized was much higher under traditional care. In addition, the predictors of hospitalization differed by site. Accuracy of predictions was high.

Conclusions

Different kinds of children were hospitalized under a continuum of care than under a traditional insurance system. Hospitalizations under both systems were highly predictable.
