Table 2. Number of visits and adjusted Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR) for each category for publicly insured children with a chronic health condition (N = 6,060).

	Mother reported depressive symptoms (N = 1,151) Mean (SE)	No reported depressive symptoms (N = 4,909) Mean (SE)	p value	IRR	95 % CI
ED visits	0.35 (0.03)	0.28 (0.01)	0.02	1.13	(0.96–1.33)
Acute office based visits	3.67 (0.36)	3.04 (0.18)	0.09	1.04	(0.87–1.25)
Preventive visits	1.01 (0.07)	1.03 (0.05)	0.84	1.02	(0.88–1.18)
Outpatient visits	0.25 (0.05)	0.25 (0.04)	0.97	0.88	(0.59–1.32)
Inpatient visits	0.11 (0.02)	0.08 (0.01)	0.11	1.27	(0.91–1.78)
Dental visits	0.72 (0.05)	0.77 (0.03)	0.34	0.88	(0.75–1.03)

Means and SEs of number of visits were survey weighted. P value indicates test for statistical significance of mothers reporting depressive symptoms to mothers who did not using t tests

IRRs were calculated by taking the exponent of the coefficients of negative binomial models that were adjusted for the child's age, race and ethnicity, health status, presence of a functional limitation, health rating, maternal age, family size, family income and maternal education
