Notes: CCI, Contribution to the concentration index; contr., contribution; CIs for conditional number of private inpatient admissions in 2005 and 2020 were not significant, and hence, no decomposition analyses were shown; residuals refer to unexplained components after accounting for the effects of the explanatory variables included in the model; contribution of need variables, non-need variables and residual factor sum to 100%. Please note that percentage may not total to 100% due to rounding in some cases.
