Probabilities and ORs of clinic follow-up after hospitalisation: comparing different levels of inpatient care coordination interventions

Intervention levelsFollow-up ratesRR (95% CI)*OR (95% CI)
Full intervention (n=54) versus no intervention (n=91)80% versus 27%2.9 (2.02 to 4.15)10.3 (4.6 to 23.1)
Partial intervention (n=66) versus no intervention (n=91)55% versus 27%1.99 (1.33 to 2.96)3.2 (1.6 to 6.2)
Full intervention (n=54) versus partial intervention (n=66)80% versus 55%1.5 (1.1 to 1.9)3.3 (1.4 to 7.4)
  • * Ratio of the probability of follow-up in the Pulmonary Clinic within 90 days of hospital discharge in the exposed group versus the non-exposed group, where degree of exposure refers to the different levels of care coordination interventions.

  • Odds of following-up in the Pulmonary Clinic within 90 days of hospital discharge when comparing different levels of care coordination interventions.
