Inpatient length of stay moderates the relationship between payer source and functional outcomes in pediatric brain injury.
CONCLUSION: Children with ABI who have both public insurance and LOS beyond 4 weeks tend to have poorer functional outcomes after inpatient rehabilitation. Because all children were receiving services at the same facility, payer source may be functioning as a proxy for other sociodemographic factors.
