Additional file 1: Supplementary Table 1. Diagnosis categories. Supplementary Table 2. Characteristics of HSUs and controls by provinces. Supplementary Table 3. Characteristics of Alberta patients and events at the different transitions. Supplementary Table 4. Characteristics of Ontario patients and events at the different transitions. Supplementary Table 5. Diagnoses at the ED to community, ED to hospital, hospital to community, ED to death, and hospital to death transitions. Supplementary Table 6. Hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for multivariable models for the transitions from community. Supplementary Table 7. Hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for multivariable models for the transitions to death. Supplementary Table 8. Hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for multivariable models for the transitions to ED to community, ED to hospital, and hospital to community: variables not related to diagnosis. Supplementary Table 9. Hazard ratios (HRs) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for multivariable models for the transitions to ED to community, ED to hospital, and hospital to community: variables related to diagnosis. Supplementary Figure 1. Ratio of HSU vs control hazard ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals for the ED to death transition. Reference categories are Ontario, female, combined medium-low to highest income quintile, large urban area, and family physician or other health care provider. Supplementary Figure 2. Ratio of HSU vs control hazard ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals for the hospital to death transition. Reference categories are Ontario, female, combined medium-low to highest income quintile, large urban area, and family physician or other health care provider. Supplementary Figure 3. Ratio of HSU vs control hazard ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals for the hospital to community transition (key diagnostic groups presented). Reference categories are Ontario, female, combined medium-low to highest income quintile, large urban area, family physician or other health care provider, and diagnoses other than those presented in Supplementary Table 9. Supplementary Figure 4. Ratio of HSU vs control hazard ratios and associated 95% confidence intervals for the community to hospital transition. Reference categories are Ontario, female, combined medium-low to highest income quintile, large urban area, and family physician or other health care provider. Supplementary Figure 5. Cummulative hazard function estimates for HSUs and controls (CON) for the different state transitions.
