Data on children born 1995-2014 were linked to hospital discharge databases 1995-2015. HRs and incidence rate ratios estimated risk of admission and LOS for children aged <1 and 1-4 years by birth cohort, gestational age, sex, maternal age, multiple births and maternal education. Estimates were pooled using random effects meta-analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In children <1 year, twins/triplets with CAs were 34% more likely to be admitted and had over two times the LOS compared with singletons, while twins/triplets without CAs were over two and a half times as likely to be admitted and had six times longer stays. Despite this, a higher proportion of twins/triplets with CAs were admitted compared to those without CAs (91% vs 65%) and had longer LOS (20 days vs 10). Smaller increases in risk of admission or LOS were found in boys, young mothers and low maternal education. Preterm birth was a major risk factor for admission and LOS.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>While the impact of risk factors on hospital admission and LOS was generally greater in children without CAs, a higher proportion of children with CAs were admitted and had longer stays. These findings have implications for health care planning and for counselling parents regarding their child's future healthcare needs.</p>","PeriodicalId":9069,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Paediatrics Open","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12352236/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144854462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
