Modeling of Acute Illness (CRISMA)
«We were surprised at how well our regions performed in terms of keeping patients close to home — they did as well as those in the Dartmouth Atlas,» said Wallace, who also is a member of Pitt's Clinical Research Investigation and Systems
Modeling of Acute Illness (CRISMA) Center.
The hierarchical regressions were significant for nonemergency visits [final adj. R2 =.15, F (12, 237) = 4.66, p <.01], ER visits [adj. R2 =.15, F (12, 237) = 4.72, p <.01], ear infections [adj. R2 =.05, F (12, 237) = 2.07, p <.01], and
acute respiratory
illnesses [adj. R2 =.08, F (12, 237) = 2.84, p <.01], such that these full regression
models accounted for a significant proportion
of the variance in children's health care usage.
