Table 1.

Population Estimates of Characteristics of a Nationally Representative Sample of Children With Special Health Care Needs and Caregiver-Reported Need for Therapy or Mobility Aids^{^a}

↵^a FPL=federal poverty level, N/A=not applicable (these children were not asked about equipment).
^b % (SE) is the population estimate and standard error of the percentage. These analyses account for the complex sampling scheme of the National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs (NS-CSHCN) and allow us to estimate the population prevalence (and its standard error) for each category.
^c Percentages do not equal 100% due to children having more than one of the conditions included in the NS-CSHCN.

Population Estimates of Perceived Unmet Need for Therapy and Unmet Need for Mobility Aids Among a Nationally Representative Sample of Children With Special Health Care Needs and Caregiver-Reported Need for Therapy or Mobility Aids, by Age Group^{^a}

↵^a N/A=not applicable (these children were not asked about equipment).
^b % (SE) is the population estimate and standard error of the percentage. These analyses account for the complex sampling scheme of the National Survey of Children With Special Health Care Needs and allow estimation of the population prevalence (and its standard error) for each category.

↵^a OR=odds ratio, CI=confidence interval, FPL=federal poverty level.
^b Adjusted for condition type, condition severity, sex, child's age, race and ethnicity, highest level of caregiver education, household income, health insurance status and type, and being uninsured at some point during the last 12 months.

^b Adjusted for condition severity and being uninsured at some point during the last 12 months.

↵^a OR=odds ratio, CI=confidence interval, SE=standard error, N/A=not applicable.
^b Adjusted for condition severity, child's age, and being uninsured at any point during the last 12 months.
