Abstract
Hospitalization accounts for a large portion of the expenditures for child health care, and differences in the rate of hospitalization may produce important variations in the cost of that care. We studied the rates of hospitalization in Boston, Rochester (N.Y.), and New Haven (Conn.) in 1982.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
