  1. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) of individual factors associated with hospitalisations for ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) obtained from multilevel Poisson models in three Nordic capital areas in biennial time periods in 2000–2015 with populations aged + 45 (Models 1–2) and 75 and over (Models 3–4). Each model was adjusted for gender, capital area of residence (Stockholm as reference) and time as well as for selected interactions. Models 1 and 2 were also adjusted for age group and Models 2 and 4 additionally for individual incomes. A bold font indicates statistically significant P values (< 0.001)
