Income-based difference in number of disease-specific healthcare encounters the last 5 years of life. Adjusted and unadjusted RRs (Q1/Q5) in 2017, 2004, and yearly change of log-transformed RR.

aModel 1: negative binominal regression testing for relative group differences (Q1 vs. Q5) in number of healthcare encounters controlling for age, age squared, sex, country of birth, and civil status. bModel 2: unadjusted. cModel 3: same as Model 1 but also controlling for county. dP values associated with the OR indicate significant deviations from the null hypothesis of RR = 1.0, as calculated using Wald tests. eBeta is the estimated value of yearly change in log-transformed RR and is calculated by regressing log-transformed RR on time. The 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained by bootstrapping. CVD, cardiovascular diseases; Neuro., neurological disorders; Chro.Resp., chronic respiratory diseases; DM & CKD, diabetes and chronic kidney diseases; Inp., inpatient care; Outp., specialized outpatient care; Prim., primary care.
