The aim of this prospective analysis was to describe the cumulative incidence of hospital admissions in the first year of life and between 1 and 11 years of age and to explore associated factors. Hospital admissions were collected through regular monitoring in the first year of life, and through maternal report on admissions between 1 and 11 years. Analyses were stratified by sex and adjusted for confounding factors. 18.1% of children were hospitalized in the first year of life, and 30.7% between ages 1 and 11 years. Among boys, hospital admission in the first year was associated with low family income, paternal smoking during pregnancy, preterm delivery, and low birthweight. Among girls, in addition to the variables described for boys, black/mixed skin color was also a risk factor for hospital admission. For admissions between 1 and 11 years of age, low family income and gestational age > 37 weeks were found to be significant risk factors.
本前瞻性分析旨在描述儿童在生命的第一年以及 1 至 11 岁期间住院的累积发生率，并探讨相关因素。在生命的第一年通过定期监测收集住院数据，在 1 至 11 岁期间通过母亲报告收集住院数据。分析按性别分层，并对混杂因素进行了调整。18.1%的儿童在生命的第一年住院，30.7%的儿童在 1 至 11 岁期间住院。对于男孩，生命第一年的住院与家庭收入低、父亲在怀孕期间吸烟、早产和低出生体重有关。对于女孩，除了描述男孩的变量外，黑/混合肤色也是住院的危险因素。对于 1 至 11 岁期间的住院，低家庭收入和胎龄 >37 周是显著的危险因素。
