Subjects with increased social complexity and increased pre-transfer hospitalizations had increased hospitalizations after transfer to adult care to a greater degree than those with increased social complexity and fewer pre-transfer hospitalizations. This graph shows the distribution of patients when divided into 2 groups: ≤ 1 hospitalization in the 2 years prior to transfer (black) or ≥ 2 hospitalizations in the 2 years prior to transfer (grey). As the social complexity increases (BLSS score), so does the number of overall hospitalizations both before and after transfer. It also shows that in the patients with high BLSS, pre-transfer hospitalization seems to have an influence on the number of post-transfer hospitalizations.
Several points are overlapping.
