Childhood adversities and rate of adulthood all-cause hospitalization in the general population: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study examined the association between specific childhood adversities and rate of all-cause hospitalization in adulthood in a large sample of the general population and assessed whether adult socioeconomic and health-related factors mediate those associations.

Methods

We used linked data available from Statistics Canada i.e., the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS-2005) linked to Discharge Abstract Database (DAD 2005-2017) and Canadian Vital Statistics Database (CVSD 2005-2017). CCHS-2005 measured self-reported exposure to childhood adversities, namely prolonged hospitalization, parental divorce, parental unemployment, prolonged trauma, parental substance use, physical abuse, and being sent away from home for wrongdoing, from a sample of household residents
