This is a follow up to a previous analysis that estimates changes in healthcare utilization in three periods throughout the pandemic using the Merativeā„¢ MarketScanĀ® Research Databases.

    The study period includes data from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022. We distributed this request to five Sentinel Data Partners on October 24, 2023.
