Association of home respiratory equipment and supply use with health care resource utilization in children.
The purpose of this cohort study was to compare health care use and spending in children using vs not using respiratory medical equipment and supplies (RMES). The investigators found that the use of RMES was associated with high health care spending, especially with hospital and home health care. They suggest that population health initiatives in children may benefit from consideration of RMES in comprehensive risk assessment for health care spending.
