Neighborhood Socioeconomic Deprivation and Health Care Utilization of Medically Complex Children.

Objectives: To assess the association between neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and health care utilization in a cohort of children with medical complexity (CMC).

Methods: Cross-sectional study of children aged <18 years receiving care in our institution's patient-centered medical home (PCMH) for CMC in 2016 to 2017. Home addresses were assigned to census tracts and a tract-level measure of socioeconomic deprivation (Deprivation Index with range 0-1, higher numbers represent greater deprivation).
