Surviving severe XXXX in Denmark: incidence and predictors of highly specialized rehabilitation.

@entity1 @entity131 @entity542
PURPOSE: To identify all hospitalized @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 ( @entity131 ) in Denmark and to compare these @entity1 to @entity131 @entity1 admitted to highly specialized rehabilitation (HS-rehabilitation). @entity1 AND METHODS: @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 were identified from The Danish National @entity1 Registry and The Danish @entity542 Database. Overall incidence rates of surviving severe @entity131 and incidence rates of admission to HS-rehabilitation after severe @entity131 were estimated and compared. @entity1 -related predictors of no admission to HS-rehabilitation among @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 were identified using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS: The average incidence rate of surviving severe @entity131 was 2.3 per 100,000 @entity1 years. Incidence rates of HS-rehabilitation were generally stable around 2.0 per 100,000 @entity1 years. Overall, 84% of all @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 were admitted to HS-rehabilitation. Female sex, older age, and non-working status pre-injury were independent predictors of no HS-rehabilitation among @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 . CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of hospitalized @entity1 surviving severe @entity131 was stable in Denmark and the majority of the @entity1 were admitted to HS-rehabilitation. However, potential inequity in access to HS-rehabilitation may still be present despite a health care system based on equal access for all citizens.
