The effect of COVID-19 disruption on monthly hospital and PHC visit rates was presented among patients in different diagnosis groups and among patients with CVDs and multimorbidity across different regions in Indonesia

The Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) was obtained by exponentiating the Poisson regression coefficient (β2) which provided the change in monthly levels of visits due to entering the Covid-19 period. PHC Primary Healthcare

aThe IRR for patients with chronic diseases at the national level

bThe IRR for patients in different diagnosis groups at the national level

cThe IRR for patients with CVDs and multimorbidity at the regional level. See Supplementary Figure S2 for details about the regions
