Adjusted multivariate models of perceived financial barriers in obtaining child’s asthma care predicting emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and missed school days due to asthma

Variable	Emergency department visits		Hospitalizations		Missed school days
	Model 1	Model 2	Model 1	Model 2	Model 1	Model 2
	OR [95 % CI]	RR [95 % CI]	OR [95 % CI]	RR [95 % CI]	OR [95 % CI]	RR [95 % CI]
Perceived financial burden in obtaining care for child’s asthma	*1.95 [1.15 to 3.29]	**1.22 [0.71 to 1.73	**3.99 [2.03 to 7.82]	**2.30 [1.44 to 3.17]	*3.26 [1.60 to 6.67]	**0.92 [0.52 to 1.32]

All models were adjusted for usual source of care for asthma, household income, and asthma control; estimates for control variables not displayed. Model 1 is a multivariate logistic regression model predicting more than one emergency department visit, hospitalizations, or missed school days. Model 2 is a negative binomial distribution regression model predicting emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or missed school days as continuous variables
