ABSTRACT
This Research Letter addresses the trends, patterns, and potential health disparities in healthcare utilization among children with medical complexity over three consecutive years, including the COVID pandemic, through a retrospective chart review study. Our findings show significant differences in the average number of visits per patient over the years and support the adoption of telehealth consultation while being cautious about demographic disparities.
