Age is included in the model as a continuous variable. IRR refers to increase per year of age.

Models are corrected for variables shown in the table.

The IRR compares the emergency admission rate before (age 10–15 years) transition with the rate after (age 19–24 years) transition.

CYP, children and young people; IRR, incidence rate ratio; LTC, long-term conditions.
