Table 4. Adjusted expenditures by category for publicly insured children with a chronic condition (N = 6,060).

Any expenditure Expenditure amount if any Combined incremental effect



OR 95 % CI β 95 % CI IE ($) 95 % CI
Total expenditures 0.71* (0.51–0.98) 0.12 (−0.08–0.31) 281.67* (270.40–292.94)
ED expenditures 1.26* (1.03–1.54) −0.18 (−0.39–0.02) 0.86* (0.76–0.96)
Office visit expenditures 0.85 (0.67–1.09) 0.14 (−0.07–0.34) 54.30* (53.28–55.32)
Inpatient hospital
Expenditures 1.07 (0.85–1.34) –0.07 (−0.50–0.36) −40.10* (−41.35 to –38.80)
Outpatient expenditures 0.95 (0.76–1.20) –0.09 (−0.59–0.41) –30.16* (–30.62 to –29.71)
Prescription
Expenditures 0.96 (0.78–1.17) 0.03 (−0.15–0.21) 12.42* (11.97–12.86)
Dental expenditures 0.81* (0.66–0.98) 0.16 (−0.08–0.40) 4.54* (4.42–4.66)

The combined incremental effect was calculated by combining both parts of the model with the formula IE = [Pr(y > 0lx = 1) -Pr(y >0|x = 0)] 9 E[y|y>0] + Pr(y>0) × (E[y|y>0, x = 1] – E[y|y>0, x = 0), where y is the expenditure, x is whether or not the mother reported depressive symptoms, Pr is the probability from the logit model and E[y] is the expected value of expenditures from the GLM model. The 95 % CI was estimated by bootstrapping for 1,000 repetitions
