Dental caries, and pulp and periapical diseases were the major dental reasons for children\u2019s hospitalisations. This study investigated if the availability of the CDBS had any effects on hospitalisation rates in Australian children.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This study was a retrospective analysis of Medicare data from the Australian Government and the hospitalisation data from The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) from 2008 (6\u00a0years before the commencement of the CDBS) to 2020 (6\u00a0years after the commencement of the CDBS).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Although the hospitalisation rate trend was reducing before the CDBS started (2008\u201314), this reduction was not statistically significant. The reduction of hospitalisation rates was higher after the commencement of the CDBS (2014\u201320) and was statistically significant, but the regression model analysis showed a positive correlation between the CDBS and hospitalisation rate. The analysis without \u2018abnormal\u2019 year data (2019\u201320, COVID-19 pandemic year) supported no statistically significant decrease in hospitalisation rate after the commencement of the CDBS in 2014 until 2019.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Although the CDBS is improving access to dental care for eligible children, any possible effects the CDBS might have on hospitalisations are not yet evident.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1071\/ah22241","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]],"date-time":"2023-05-08T18:08:50Z","timestamp":1683569330000},"page":"307-313","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects of the Child Dental Benefits Schedule on dental hospitalisation rates in Australian children"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2640-7357","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Parmis","family":"Aminian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AFaculty of Science, School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Estie","family":"Kruger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BInternational Research Collaborative \u2013 Oral Health and Equity, Faculty of Science, School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Tennant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BInternational Research Collaborative \u2013 Oral Health and Equity, Faculty of Science, School of Human Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"67","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121501113797500_R1"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R2"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R3"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1211","DOI":"10.1177\/0022034519866628","article-title":"Modifiable Factors Explain Socioeconomic Inequalities in Children\u2019s Dental Caries.","volume":"98","author":"Peres","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Dent Res"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"170","DOI":"10.1177\/2380084417751350","article-title":"Race- and Income-Related Inequalities in Oral Health in Australian Children by Fluoridation Status.","volume":"3","author":"Do","year":"2018","journal-title":"JDR Clin Trans Res"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"317","DOI":"10.1177\/2380084420939040","article-title":"Oral Health Inequalities among Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Children.","volume":"6","author":"Haag","year":"2021","journal-title":"JDR Clin Trans Res"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R7"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R8"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R9"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R10"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1111\/ipd.12095","article-title":"Dental hospitalization trends in Western Australian children under the age of 15 years: a decade of population-based study.","volume":"25","author":"Alsharif","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Paediatr Dent"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"499","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2014.950","article-title":"Is dental caries neglect?","volume":"217","author":"Stevens","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br Dent J"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1834-7819.2006.tb00434.x","article-title":"Hospitalization of Western Australian children for oral health related conditions: a 5\u20138 year follow-up.","volume":"51","author":"Kruger","year":"2006","journal-title":"Aust Dent J"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2007.11.008","article-title":"The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) statement: Guidelines for reporting observational studies.","volume":"61","author":"von Elm","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Clin Epidemiol"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R15"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R16"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1111\/cdoe.12611","article-title":"Impact of COVID-19 on the provision of paediatric dental care: Analysis of the Australian Child Dental Benefits Schedule.","volume":"49","author":"Hopcraft","year":"2021","journal-title":"Community Dent Oral Epidemiol"},{"key":"2025121501113797500_R18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"270","DOI":"10.1002\/hec.4200","article-title":"Who\u2019s declining the \u201cfree lunch\u201d?
