Abstract
BACKGROUND: Different primary care delivery models exist for mothers and their infants. We examined whether primary care system performance measures differed when mother–infant dyads received primary care from the same or different providers.
METHODS: We conducted a population-based cohort study using Ontario health administrative data from 2004 to 2016. We included primiparous women and their singleton term infants and classified the primary care practitioners who provided the majority of care to the infant and the mother as concordant (same family physician for both; reference group), discordant (a different family physician for each) or pediatrician (pediatrician for the child, family physician for the mother). The primary outcome was nonobstetric maternal hospital admissions between 42 days and 2 years after delivery.
RESULTS: Among 481 721 mother–child pairs, 239 033 (49.6%) received concordant care, 114 006 (23.7%) received discordant care, and 128 682 (26.7%) received pediatrician care. Mothers in the pediatrician group were older and had greater comorbidity. Relative to concordant care, maternal nonobstetric hospital admissions occurred similarly under discordant care (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.96–1.04) and in the pediatrician group (adjusted OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.95–1.02). Maternal deaths were similar under discordant care (adjusted OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.62–1.63) but lower in the pediatrician group (adjusted OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34–0.89). Maternal primary care visits were lower in both the discordant group (adjusted relative risk [RR] 0.68, 95% CI 0.68–0.69) and the pediatrician group (adjusted RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.75–0.76). Healthy children were more likely to miss the enhanced 18-month well-baby visit under discordant care (adjusted OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.09) but less likely to miss this visit under pediatrician care (adjusted OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.46–0.49).
INTERPRETATION: Concordant care provided to a new mother and her infant by the same family physician was not associated with better primary care health system performance. The reason that pediatric primary care is associated with better maternal and child outcomes remains to be determined.
Around the time of birth, parents of healthy newborns must begin the search for a primary care physician for their child. According to published clinical guidelines, 10 well-child visits are recommended in the first 2 years of life.1,2 The demands of prioritizing the care of her young child may distract a new mother from accessing primary care for herself, or maintaining continuity of care. Hence, a family physician who cares for both a mother and her infant may conceivably facilitate integrated and coordinated primary care delivery for each patient. Conversely, such an approach might lead to distracted care, there being a preoccupation with the child’s needs over those of the mother.
Across high-income countries, wide variation exists in primary care delivery models for young families.3–5 In some jurisdictions — the United Kingdom, Australia and Denmark — care is provided through a family physician–only model. In others, including the United States, Israel and Spain, primary child care is provided by a pediatrician and primary adult care by a family physician. Other countries, including France, Germany and Canada, offer both these options.3,6 Which approach is best has not been formally assessed using existing primary care health system performance measures, such as unplanned hospital admissions, emergency department visits, or maternal and child death.
In some provinces and regions of Canada, women have a choice about their primary care provider. Within Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, several models of primary care are available. These include capitated remuneration models (in which physicians receive a set amount of funding per patient in their practice), noncapitated models (in which physicians are compensated primarily through fee-for-service but are also eligible for specific bonuses and premiums based on patient enrolment or provision of after-hours services) and fee-for-service models (in which physicians bill and are remunerated according to each patient visit or service provided). Ontario funds health care for eligible residents, and linked health administrative data sets permit the collection of population-based performance indicators of quality primary care, including unplanned hospital admissions, emergency department use, rates of preventable illness (including cardiovascular disease) and all-cause mortality.7–15 For young children, well-baby screening is within the list of quality indicators.13
We examined whether primary care health system performance measures differed when a mother and infant received primary care from the same family physician, from separate family physicians, or from a pediatrician for the child and a family physician for the mother. We hypothesized that concordant care by the same family physician would result in improved outcomes for the woman, without compromising the outcomes of her young child in the first 2 years of life.
Methods
Setting
We conducted a population-based cohort study in Ontario, Canada, using linked health and administrative data for women and their singleton infants who were eligible for provincial health insurance and who were admitted to hospital for delivery of a live-born infant between 2005 and 2014.
Study population
We included primiparous mothers and their children born between Apr. 1, 2005, and Mar. 31, 2014. We limited the cohort to primiparous births to focus on new mothers navigating the child health care system for the first time. We excluded mothers who became Ontario residents less than 365 days before the birth date of their infant, mothers younger than 18 years or older than 55 years at the child’s birth date, and those with multifetal births. We also excluded mother–infant dyads in which the mother or child died less than 42 days after the birth date and those for whom the hospital discharge date of the mother or the child was more than 42 days after the child’s birth date (Appendix 1, Figure A1-1, available at www.cmaj.ca/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1503/cmaj.191038/-/DC1).
Exposure groups
We identified primary care practitioners who provided the majority of primary care to infants and their mothers between 42 and 365 days of life, using outpatient physician billing codes for primary care visits (Appendix 1, Box A1-1). This majority care designation was assigned to the physician who provided the greatest number of days of visits for primary care during the observation window. We classified primary care as follows: concordant care, where both the mother and the infant had the same family physician; discordant care, where the mother and infant had different family physicians providing most primary care (i.e., 2 separate family physicians); and pediatrician care, where a pediatrician provided primary care to the infant and a family physician provided care to the mother. We excluded dyads in which either the mother or the infant had no primary care visits, as well as those in which the mother received the majority of primary care from a pediatrician or other specialist (e.g., obstetrician). We assigned mothers or their infants who received the majority of primary care through community health centres (reflecting < 1% of the population) or from a nurse practitioner (where physician billing records are not always captured) to the category of the provider they visited the second highest number of times.
As a sensitivity analysis, we used a more sensitive, and less specific, definition of concordance by classifying as “concordant care” mother–child dyads with any visits (rather than the majority of visits) to the same provider for primary care during the 42- to 365-day observation window (see Appendix 1, Box A1-1, for codes describing primary care assignment for analyses).
Study outcomes
The Ontario Primary Care Performance Measurement Framework outlines several measures for evaluating primary care at the system and practice levels using multiple methods of data collection. 15 While the study outcomes were not all-inclusive, we chose outcomes for the current study that could be mapped onto this existing framework, ascertained using health and administrative data. The primary study outcome was any maternal nonobstetric hospital admission between 42 days (corresponding to the end of the postpartum period) and 2 years after the child’s birth date. In Ontario, hospital admissions for conditions managed in primary care have been shown to be related to primary care remuneration models and are a measure of the integration and effectiveness of primary care provision.15,16
We also analyzed the following secondary outcomes: maternal and child deaths; all-cause and low-acuity emergency department visits (each of which are measures of access and integration); primary care visits in the 2 years after the birth date (a measure of system and practice efficiency); maternal cardiovascular disease (a measure of care effectiveness), defined as a composite of any in-hospital diagnosis of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, cardiac dysrhythmia or heart failure; maternal mental health hospital admissions (a measure of health outcome); hospital admissions for the child; and nonreceipt of an enhanced 18-month well-baby visit (a measure of population health preventive care), defined as a publicly funded visit to a health care provider in which standardized developmental review and evaluation tools for toddlers are paired with a routine well-baby check-up.13 The specific data sources and codes used to define each outcome are presented in Appendix 1 (Box A1-1, Box A1-2 and Table A1-1). We performed another sensitivity analysis using a narrower, more proximal outcome window of 42 to 365 days after the birth date for nonmaternity hospital admissions.
Data sources
We used several linked health and demographic data sets available at ICES, a not-for-profit research institute whose legal status under Ontario’s health information privacy law allows it to collect and analyze health data without consent. We linked individual patient-level records in the data sets using a unique encoded identifier derived from the health card number of every resident in Ontario insured with provincial health insurance.
We identified in-hospital obstetric deliveries using the ICES MOMBABY data set. All in-hospital deliveries in Ontario are included in this validated data set, with 98% deterministic linkage of newborn and maternal hospital records.17 Data for fathers and adopted newborns were not available from the existing data sets. We obtained demographic information from Ontario’s Health Insurance Registry (Registered Persons Database), including the child’s date of birth and the postal code of both the mother and the infant. We linked postal codes to Canadian census data to obtain neighbourhood-level income and to determine rural or urban residence. We obtained the mother’s immigration status from the Permanent Resident Database of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.18 We obtained the practice and remuneration model types of primary care providers from the Corporate Provider Database. We obtained clinical information about all hospital discharges from the Canadian Institute for Health Information Discharge Abstract Database, which uses standard diagnostic codes from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision, Canadian version (ICD-10-CA) and procedural or interventional codes from the Canadian Classification of Health Interventions. We identified emergency department records using the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System, which includes all emergency department, day surgery and hospital outpatient clinic visits. We used the Ontario Health Insurance Plan physician billings database to obtain information about outpatient physician and visit characteristics. The Ontario Mental Health Reporting System contains mental health clinical and administrative data for adult patients in designated inpatient mental health beds in the province; we used this source to ascertain mental health–related hospital admissions.
ICES data are valid for sociodemographic characteristics, physician billing claims and primary hospital diagnoses.19
Statistical analysis
For the baseline characteristics of the mothers and their newborns, we calculated means, medians or rates.
We used multivariable logistic regression to generate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the relation between primary care provision type and the outcomes of maternal hospital admission, child hospital admission, maternal death, child death, the composite outcome for cardiovascular disease (limited to the mothers) and receipt of the enhanced 18-month well-baby visit (limited to the children). The ORs were adjusted for maternal age, neighbourhood income quintile, rurality, immigration status, number of medical comorbidities, family physician practice and remuneration model,20 the child’s gestational age at birth, the child’s birth weight, the child’s complex chronic conditions and the child’s length of stay for the birth hospitalization, given the biologically and clinically plausible association of each factor with each outcome. Because a child with a complex chronic condition is more likely to be cared for by a pediatrician, we re-ran the above models with stratification by the child’s general health, as term healthy children and children with a complex chronic condition or preterm birth.
Separately, for the outcomes of the number of primary care visits for the mother and the number of such visits for the child, we used negative binomial regression, with adjustment for the aforementioned covariables, to generate relative risks (RRs) comparing the rates of these events occurring. For the outcomes of mother and child all-cause emergency department visits, as well as low-acuity emergency department visits, we used zero-inflated negative binomial regression to generate RRs, again using the same covariables.
For maternal and child hospital admissions, we described the most responsible diagnosis from the discharge record for the 15 most common diagnoses, using ICD-10-CA codes (Appendix 1, Table A1-2).
To assess the construct validity of the assignment of primary care providers in this study, we further described the proportions of mother–child dyads with high continuity of care (≥ 76% of all primary care visits to their assigned provider) and those with lower continuity of care (< 76% of all primary care visits to their assigned provider). We also described the proportion of children who received an enhanced 18-month well-baby visit by their assigned provider (Appendix 1, Table A1-3).
We used SAS Enterprise Guide, version 6.1 (SAS Institute) for all statistical analyses.
Ethics approval
The Research Ethics Board at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, approved this study.
Results
After exclusions, we included a total of 481 721 mother–child dyads in the study (Appendix 1, Figure A1-1). Of these, 239 033 (49.6%) received concordant care, 114 006 (23.7%) received discordant care, and 128 682 (26.7%) received pediatrician care.
Mothers in the pediatrician group were older on average (30.4 yr) than those in the discordant (28.4 yr) or concordant (28.8 yr) family physician groups, were most likely to reside in the highest neighbourhood income quintile (17.8%, 15.8% and 15.7%, respectively), and had the highest proportion of immigrant mothers (37.5%, 19.3% and 22.4%, respectively) (Table 1). Mothers in the discordant family physician group less frequently had more than 10 comorbidities (16.2%), in contrast to those in the concordant (24.7%) and pediatrician (25.5%) groups.
Characteristics of the study cohort according to the primary care provider of the mother and her child
In the concordant family physician group, the physician of the mother most often practised in noncapitated remuneration models (52.0%), followed by capitated models (37.1%). Physicians of mothers in the pediatrician model most often practised in fee-for-service remuneration models (50.3%) followed by non-capitated models (36.9%). The majority of providers caring for mothers in the discordant family physician group practised in a fee-for-service remuneration model (80.9%).
More infants in the pediatrician model were born preterm, were small for gestational age, had a prolonged hospital stay at birth and had a complex chronic condition (Table 1). These patterns among the groups were similarly seen when we used a more sensitive definition of the primary care provider (Appendix 1, Table A1-4).
Maternal outcomes
The primary study outcome of maternal nonobstetric hospital admission did not differ between women in the concordant care group and those in the discordant care group (adjusted OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.96–1.04) or in the pediatrician group (adjusted OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.95–1.02) (Table 2, Figure 1 and Appendix 1, Figure A1-2A). However, when we used the more sensitive definition of primary care concordance, the odds of hospital admission were marginally lower under both discordant care (adjusted OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91–1.00) and pediatrician care (adjusted 0.96, 95% CI 0.92–0.99) (Appendix 1, Table A1-5); similarly, when we used a more proximal and shorter observation window after the child’s birth date, the odds of admission were marginally lower both for discordant care (adjusted OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83–0.97) and for pediatrician care (adjusted OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87–0.99) (Appendix 1, Table A1-6). Decreased odds of maternal nonobstetric hospital admission were also independently associated with age (per additional year, adjusted OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.95–0.96), urban residence (adjusted OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.65–0.72) and immigration status (nonrefugees, adjusted OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.72–0.78; refugees, adjusted OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83–0.98).
Number, proportion, and unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios for maternal nonobstetric hospital admissions, according to the primary care provider of the mother and of her infant and by their characteristics
Health outcomes of mothers, by type of primary care model, where the concordant model means mother and child were receiving care from the same family physician, the discordant model means mother and child were receiving care from different family physicians, and the pediatrician model means the mother was receiving care from a family physician and the child was receiving care from a pediatrician. Note: CI = confidence interval, ED = emergency department, OR = odds ratio, ref. = reference.
Compared with a fee-for-service maternal primary care provider remuneration and practice model, noncapitated models (adjusted OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.13–1.22) and capitated models (adjusted OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.12–1.22) were independently associated with nonobstetric hospital admissions (Table 2 and Appendix 1, Table A1-7). Increased odds of maternal nonobstetric hospital admissions were also associated with previous mental health admissions (adjusted OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.40–1.73) and greater comorbidity (≥ 10 v. 0–5 comorbidities, adjusted OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.47–1.59; 6–9 v. 0–5 comorbidities, adjusted OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.09–1.17) (Table 2).
The odds of cardiovascular outcomes did not differ between primary care groups (Figure 1), but maternal death was lower in the pediatrician group compared with concordant care (adjusted OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34–0.89) (Figure 1 and Appendix 1, Figure A1-2B and Table A1-5). Hospital admission for mental illness was less likely in the pediatrician group than under concordant care (adjusted OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.76–0.99) but was not significantly different under discordant care (adjusted OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.98–1.28) (Figure 1). Relative to the concordant care group, maternal primary care visits in the first 2 years were lower under discordant care (adjusted RR 0.68, 95% CI 0.68–0.69) and pediatrician care (adjusted RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.75–0.76) (Figure 2), whereas maternal emergency department visits were lowest under pediatrician care (adjusted RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.85–0.88) and slightly but significantly higher under discordant care (adjusted RR 1.06, 95% CI 1.04–1.08) (Figure 2). These findings were robust under the specific and sensitive definitions of primary care concordance for most outcomes (Appendix 1, Table A1-5 and Table A1-8).
Health system utilization by mothers and their children, by type of primary care model, where the concordant model means mother and child were receiving care from the same family physician, the discordant model means mother and child were receiving care from different family physicians, and the pediatrician model means the mother was receiving care from a family physician and the child was receiving care from a pediatrician. Note: CI = confidence interval, ED = emergency department, ref. = reference, RR = relative risk, SD = standard deviation.
Child outcomes
Compared with concordant care, hospital admission of healthy children in the first 2 years of life was less common under discordant care (adjusted OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.89–0.96) and more likely under pediatrician care (adjusted OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.10–1.18), with similar but slightly stronger associations among children with complex chronic conditions (Figure 3 and Appendix 1, Figure A1-2C and Table A1-9). Child deaths were rare, but among children with chronic conditions, deaths were higher under discordant care (adjusted OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.14–2.83) and pediatrician care (adjusted OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.14–2.60). A similar association for child death was seen among healthy children with discordant care (adjusted OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.24–3.15), but the association was not significant for pediatrician care (adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 0.92–2.28) (Figure 3 and Appendix 1, Figure A1-2D). Relative to concordant care, children under discordant care were more likely to miss the enhanced 18-month well-baby visit (adjusted OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.28–1.34), although this was less likely under pediatrician care (adjusted OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.52–0.54). Primary care visits in the first 2 years of life were lower under pediatrician care (adjusted RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.93–0.94) and discordant care (adjusted RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.79–0.80). All-cause (adjusted OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.85–0.86) and low-acuity (adjusted OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.64–0.66) emergency department visits were lowest under pediatrician care (Figure 2).
Health outcomes of children, by type of primary care model and by the child’s general health status, where the concordant model means mother and child were receiving care from the same family physician, the discordant model means mother and child were receiving care from different family physicians, and the pediatrician model means the mother was receiving care from a family physician and the child was receiving care from a pediatrician. Note: CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio, ref. = reference.
Sensitivity analyses using a more inclusive definition of concordance showed similar patterns of child health and health access outcomes (Appendix 1, Tables A1-8, A1-9 and A1-10).
Interpretation
In this large population-based cohort study of primiparous mothers and their young children, concordant care by the same family physician was not associated with improved maternal health or health system performance measurement outcomes. However, primary care provided by a pediatrician was associated with some better maternal outcomes and lower health system utilization in the first 2 years after giving birth, even after accounting for comorbidities and sociodemographic differences. Primary care by a pediatrician was also associated with greater child health system performance metrics, including enhanced primary care visits and fewer emergency department visits.
We originally hypothesized that there would be improved outcomes among mothers receiving concordant primary care. Instead, we found that outcomes either did not differ or were sometimes better in mothers with a dedicated family physician whose child received care from a pediatrician, and were either no different or marginally worse in mother–child dyads with 2 distinct family physicians. Although these observations are not causal, and the associations were often modest, our results were unexpected, and we considered several explanations. First, concordant care may distract from adequate care for both the mother and the child. During any visit to their doctor, a mother may give her child’s medical and emotional needs priority over her own. Physicians paid entirely, or largely, through fee-for-service (i.e., fee-for-service and noncapitated models) — about half of all primary care physicians in Ontario21,22 — may follow a “1 problem per visit” policy.23,24 This may explain why we found a higher-than-expected number of maternal and child primary care visits, without a corresponding improvement in health system performance outcomes (e.g., low-acuity emergency department visits) among dyads that received concordant care.25 Second, a family physician delegated to care for just the woman may be better able to focus on her specific needs. Third, while pediatricians are trained to care specifically for children, their approach may be to include assessments of health, behaviours and relationships for the entire family.26 Pediatricians may recognize that to optimize the health of a child, the mother’s own health needs must also be ensured, and they may therefore guide her to obtain support for herself. Thus, high-quality care from a child specialist may ultimately extend to mothers. Fourth, although we adjusted for several important variables, such as neighbourhood income quintile and comorbidities, it is likely that residual confounding accounts for at least some of our findings. Specifically, unmeasured factors related to underlying child health risk may explain why we observed higher rates of child hospitalization in the pediatrician group. It is also possible that healthier mothers are more likely to enrol their infants in pediatrician-based primary care.
We found small but important differences in health and health system performance outcomes in mother–child dyads in relation to the nature of primary care delivery. For physicians who provide care to both a mother and her child, attention needs to focus on both patients. Leveraging of a clinician’s knowledge of family dynamics and health and social needs could be optimized to improve health and system performance. Given that our study showed that more than a quarter of dyads involved care by a pediatrician, it is important that pediatricians continue to receive training that considers the whole family, even while focusing on the child.27 We speculate that such training to address family issues and offer support may partly account for our findings. Tenets of pediatrician-delivered primary care,28 applied universally and more deliberately to existing family physician models of practice, could potentially improve outcomes for mother and child. For example, breastfeeding-friendly offices could be scaled up, and remuneration could be improved, to better value time spent addressing the needs of both mother and child. More nuanced shifts in training and care delivery could include a greater focus on child- and family-friendly practices in the medical home, as suggested by leading pediatric organizations:28,29 acknowledging the family as a constant in a child’s life, building on family strengths, honouring cultural diversity and family traditions, recognizing the importance of community-based services, promoting an individual and developmental approach, and encouraging family-to-family peer support.
Limitations
We could not establish causation, nor were we able to determine whether the findings were related to other, unmeasured factors related to individual patient characteristics in different models of care or in how mothers selected their model of primary care. Physicians’ characteristics and models of their practices were broadly included in the analysis in terms of remuneration and team-based care, but detailed information about practice structure, including access to allied health and practice-specific afterhours availability, was not available nor explored in this study; such factors may have contributed to our findings. We included almost the entire population of primiparous mothers in Ontario, but our findings may not be generalizable to multiparous women and their children. Although the study outcomes measured here can be mapped onto established primary care performance measurement indicators, and although they address a gap in our understanding of maternal and child primary care delivery, they are not comprehensive. Complementary to the current study would be the collection of survey data from parents and practitioners, and the determination of whether the current findings differ when primary care is provided by nurse practitioners or within a community health centre, settings that account for less than 1% of the Ontario population.21
Conclusion
We found that concordant care provided to a new mother and her infant by the same family physician did not, as we had expected, appear to confer better maternal or child health or health system performance outcomes than discordant family physician or pediatrician care. Further exploration of the specific aspects of pediatric primary care that may contribute to better maternal and child outcomes is warranted.
