  1. Shown are numbers (N) and relative percentage (%) of infants with at least one hospital treatment in the respective year of life (YOL), excluding perinatal hospitalization. For these hospitalized children the length of stay in days (A) and the health-care costs in Euro (B) are given as median (interquartile range) for each individual hospitalisation and the complete YOL
