Abstract Background Experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, poor health, or child maltreatment in early life has negative effects on child development. However, we know little about children who have good developmental outcomes despite experiencing adversity. Methods This study used de-identified, linked government administrative data from the South Australian Early Childhood Data Project: specifically Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data for all South Australian born children in their first year of school in 2009, 2012 and 2015 (n = 47,179) and their corresponding birth, perinatal, school enrolment, hospital admission, emergency department presentation, public housing and child protection data. Latent class analyses constructed multidimensional measures of socioeconomic, health, and maltreatment adversities experienced from birth to age 5. Results Overall, 49.8% (95% CI 49.2-50.4) of children were on track on all five AEDC domains, but this ranged from 53.7% among children who did not experience high levels of adversity to 13.5% among children with high levels of all three adversities. Conclusions Among children who experienced high levels of two or three early adversity types, approximately 1 in 5 were developmentally on track. Understanding characteristics of these children who thrive, against the odds, will help identify intervention opportunities to improve child development. Key messages Compared with children who did not experience high levels of adversity, each additional adversity reduced the likelihood of being developmentally on track by approximately 10% to 15%. Children experiencing socioeconomic or maltreatment adversity were less likely to be developmentally on track than children experiencing health adversity.

BackgroundPeople who are nearing the end of life are high users of healthcare. The cost to providers is high and the value of care is uncertain.ObjectivesTo describe the pattern, trajectory and drivers of secondary care use and cost by people in Scotland in their last year of life.MethodsRetrospective whole-population secondary care administrative data linkage study of Scottish decedents of 60 years and over between 2012 and 2017 (N=274 048).ResultsSecondary care use was high in the last year of life with a sharp rise in inpatient admissions in the last 3 months. The mean cost was £10 000. Cause of death was associated with differing patterns of healthcare use: dying of cancer was preceded by the greatest number of hospital admissions and dementia the least. Greater age was associated with lower admission rates and cost. There was higher resource use in the urban areas. No difference was observed by deprivation.ConclusionsHospitalisation near the end of life was least frequent for older people and those living rurally, although length of stay for both groups, when they were admitted, was longer. Research is required to understand if variation in hospitalisation is due to variation in the quantity or quality of end-of-life care available, varying community support, patient preferences or an inevitable consequence of disease-specific needs.

Abstract Background Few studies have examined the association between infant feeding mode (IFM) and costs related to healthcare service use (HSU) in Canada. The aim of this study is to evaluate differences in HSU and its associated costs by IFM, in an infant’s first year of life in one region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.Methods Data from a prospective cohort study were linked to administrative databases to examine HSU during an infant’s first year of life. The cohort study collected information on peri- and postnatal variables, including IFM during three stages that covered pregnancy through the first year postnatally. Consenting mothers provided their infants health insurance number for a data linkage to examine HSU by the infant. Outcomes included: hospital admissions, emergency room, family doctor and specialist visits. IFM was categorized as exclusively breastfed, mixed fed and exclusively formula fed. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis were performed to examine the relationship between IFM, maternal and child characteristics and costs associated with HSU.Results The sample included 160 mother infant dyads who consented to the data linkage. Mothers were Caucasian (95.6%), 26 years or older (95%), partnered (97.5%), living in a household with income greater than $30,000 CAN (98.1%) with a post-secondary education (97.5%). At one month 67% were exclusively breastfeeding, 20% were mixed feeding, and 13% were exclusively formula feeding. Overall $315,235 was spent on healthcare service use for the sample of healthy full-term infants during their first year of life. Generalized linear modelling was performed to assess the effect of IFM on costs associated with HSU adjusting for confounders. When compared to exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive formula and mixed feeding were found to be significant predictors of the total costs associated with HSU during the first year of life (p <0.05), driven by costs of hospital admissions.Conclusions Due to the human and economic burden associated with not breastfeeding, policies and programs that support and encourage breastfeeding should be a priority for governments and regional health authorities.
