Adjusted proportion of caregivers’ financial measures before and after their child’s PICU hospitalization. This figure displays the adjusted rates of any delinquent debt, medical debt in collections, non-medical debt in collections, and low credit score by cohort. The adjusted rates displayed were obtained via logistic regression adjusting for age group of the child, presence of a complex chronic condition for the hospitalized child, PICU hospitalization length of stay, age group of the caregiver, gender of the caregiver, household status, and county-level social vulnerability index quartile. Post-PICU caregivers had a significantly higher adjusted rate of delinquent debt and low credit score compared to the comparison cohort. There was no statistically significant difference in medical and non-medical debt in collection between cohorts
