OBJECTIVE: To compare children and adolescents hospitalized under a continuum of care with those hospitalized under traditional insurance coverage. METHOD: With comprehensive data, logistic regressions were used to predict hospitalization and to identify its determinants. RESULTS: As expected, the probability of being hospitalized was much higher under traditional care. In addition, the predictors of hospitalization differed by site. Accuracy of predictions was high. CONCLUSIONS: Different kinds of children were hospitalized under a continuum of care than under a traditional insurance system. Hospitalizations under both systems were highly predictable.
