FIGURE 1.

Proportions of children classified as medically complex. Our CMC identification method classified significantly smaller proportions of the NSCH 2016–2017 sample as medically complex than methods described by Bramlett et al⁸ (≥4 CSHCN screener criteria), Bethell et al⁷ (CSHCN screener activity limitations criterion plus 1 additional criterion), and the DRCCAH (CSHCN screener prescription medication criterion plus 1 additional criterion). National estimates of CMC by using survey weight are displayed above each approach. Error bars indicate 95% CIs.
