This interval was chosen based on the typical time spent in the ED before hospital admission and the availability of research assistants (RAs).
A literature review was used to identify candidate explanatory variables that may be associated with admission despite the availability of intensive home treatment.
The formation of the alternative spatial model of HSAP allows for relevant clustering effects of the small areas within these population-based health markets (e.g. variation in thresholds for stationary admission resulting from availability of beds, outpatient facilities with the possibility of monitoring a child for a short period of time).
Also find out the admission costs, the availability of transportation, the cost of chartering buses.
