FIGURE 1.

Multivariable analysis of hospital days and costs for children in the last year of life, by type and number of LT-CCCs. Shown are adjusted rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals for hospital resource use by type and number of LT-CCCs. For each type of LT-CCC, the reference group is the absence of that particular condition. For the number of LT-CCCs, the reference group is 1 LT-CCC. Rate ratios are adjusted for demographic (age, race/ethnicity, insurance type) and clinical (mechanical ventilation, surgery, new medical technology) characteristics.
