| الوصف: | Abstract Objective The aim is to perform a pilot study evaluating the differences in healthcare service use and its associated costs by infant feeding mode in an infant’s first year of life. Data from a prospective cohort study and administrative databases were linked to examine healthcare use in healthy full term infants (N = 160). Exposure was categorized as exclusively breastfed, mixed fed and exclusively formula fed. Outcomes included hospitalizations, emergency room and physician visits. Descriptive statistics and generalized linear modelling were performed. Results Overall $315,235 was spent on healthcare service use for the sample of infants during their first year of life. When compared to exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and exclusive formula feeding were found to be significant predictors of total healthcare service use costs (p |
