The annualized visits were then multiplied by a country- and provider-specific average unit cost.
The same relationship was found when evaluating annualized visits to a psychiatrist between the index and each outcome.
Among the people who had developed an outcome, there was a significant difference between the number of annualized visits to a primary care physician between index and the primary outcome and between index and the secondary outcome (data not presented), indicating that individuals with schizophrenia had higher utilization rates.
By the latter half of 2011, the CHEWs were making on the order of 40 home visits per month to the hamlets in Kadawawa, translating to an annualized home visit rate of over 800 children under 5 years old (approaching 40% of the estimated population of under-5 children).
After adjustment for covariates, patients with HFpEF incurred significantly more annualized outpatient visits (21.5 vs 20.1, p = 0.002) and emergency room visits (3.24 vs 2.94, p = 0.002) than those with HFrEF, but absolute differences were small.
Cross tabulations using CY 2012 as the index year and 2 years of follow-up (the most recent data available) are also presented for annualized ED visits, emergent versus non-emergent conditions, and persistence by categories of ED utilization.
Capital facility costs of 0.32 USD per visit include annualized costs of buildings, equipment, furniture and transportation [ 28].
In contrast, men who failed had the highest emergency department visits both pre- and post-MHRC, although even they experienced improvement, going from 9.2 annualized average number of visits to 6.6.
The annualized (12-month) OP visits per facility type were then calculated.
The annualized numbers of physician visits for primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and internal medicine specialists between the index date and both the first primary and secondary outcome event were used as a measure of healthcare utilization.
