"expenditure status" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
You can use it to refer to the amount of money an organization or individual is spending. For example, "We must keep careful track of our expenditure status to ensure that we're sticking to our budget."
Presence of daily wager in the family, and reported income expenditure status, maternal age, parity, body mass index (BMI, kg/m) at entry into the intervention, and haemoglobin in early pregnancy were used as intermediate variables to examine if women having lower and higher schooling differed by the levels of these variables.
The women having less schooling were in general from families having lower mean asset scores (−1.23 vs. 1.36, P < 0.001), more frequent deficits in a scale for income expenditure status (P < 0.001), and more frequent presence of daily wager in the family (P < 0.001).
Prior expenditures status could correctly identify more actual top users than diagnosis-based or demographic models.
Prior expenditures status could correctly identify more actual high-expenditure users than diagnosis-based or demographics models.
The proportions of true high-expenditure users that could be identified by diagnosis-based models alone were much lower than that by prior expenditures status.
Without risk adjustment models, the best that health plans can do to identify potentially high-expenditure users is to rely on prior expenditures status.
The proportions of actual top users that could be identified by diagnosis-based models alone were much lower than that identified by prior expenditures status.
The proportions of actual top users that can be identified by diagnosis-based risk models alone are much lower than those by prior expenditures status alone.
We also found that the proportion of true cases that could be identified by prior expenditures status was always larger than that proportion by risk adjustment models, especially in simple ones.
This is mainly due to the fact that there is a much higher overlap of top predicted groups between diagnosis-based models and prior expenditures status compared to that between the demographic model and prior status (area b in Figure 1).
These characteristics include a subset of variables, such as health, education, income, expenditure, employment status, and use of various types of services.
