Table II.
Risk for patients with an OOH index contact due to an exacerbation for new contact with OOH, contact with daytime GP, hospital admission, or death during 30-day follow-up, distributed over the five chronic diseases, for other patients, and for the total population (shown as incidence risk rate [IRR]).
| Heart disease n = 493 (100%) |
Lung disease n = 1654 (100%) |
Diabetes n = 1525 (100%) |
Psychiatric disease n = 355 (100%) |
Cancer n = 1490 (100%) |
2 + diagnosed n = 1126 (100%) |
Other patients n = 7696 (100%) |
Total population n = 11 897 (100%) |
