- Figure 1
Observed crude rates of (A) emergency department visits and (B) hospital admissions among Ontario children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and trends in rates with (predicted rates) and without (projected rates) implementation of the Network of Ontario Pediatric Diabetes Programs. Dotted vertical line = implementation of the program.

Observed crude rates of (A) emergency department visits and (B) hospital admissions for the lowest (Q1) and highest (Q5) socioeconomic quintiles, and trends in rates with (predicted rates) and without (projected rates) implementation of the Network of Ontario Pediatric Diabetes Programs. Dotted vertical line = implementation of the program.

Observed crude rates of (A) emergency department visits and (B) hospital admissions by geographic location, and trends in rates with (predicted rates) and without (projected rates) implementation of the Network of Ontario Pediatric Diabetes Programs. Dotted vertical line = implementation of the program.
