Risk factors for hospital admission and length of stay for children with and without congenital anomalies: a EUROlinkCAT cohort study
While the impact of risk factors on hospital admission and LOS was generally greater in children without CAs, a higher proportion of children with CAs were admitted and had longer stays. These findings have implications for health care planning and for counselling parents regarding their child's future healthcare needs.
