Public versus Private Drug Insurance and Outcomes of Patients Requiring Biologic Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Figure 2

Rates of hospitalizations and emergency department visits stratified by public versus private drug insurance coverage. Additional sensitivity analyses are performed in which the following groups were excluded (excl): those who received first anti-TNF dose as inpatients (Inpt) or through a compassionate use program (Comp); those with private drug insurance coverage who received supplemental public funding (Copay). All rate differences between private and public drug coverage were statistically significant ().
