The National Landscape of Hospitalizations for Children With Medical Complexity
We highlight substantial health services use and in-hospital mortality for CMC compared with non-CMC. Health systems can use our findings to analyze cost-effectiveness of targeted interventions for CMC, as well as advocate for policy-based changes to reduce hospital- and individual-level inequities for CMC.
