    Abstract
    Summary: Background: Identifying inequalities is important for informing research, and policy efforts to reduce health disparities. This study measured the inequalities in hospitalisations for the costly and prevalent conditions in hospitalised children using association estimates. Methods: Population-based cohort study using health administrative databases in Ontario, Canada between 2014 and 2019. The hospitalisation rate was determined for the costly and prevalent conditions in children. Hospitalisation inequalities by four equity stratifiers (material resources, rurality, sex, and immigrant status) were quantified using rate difference (RD), rate ratio (RR), and ratio of excess to total hospitalisation rate. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were also conducted. Findings: In a population of 3·7 million children (median age 7·0 years, Interquartile range: 1·0–12·0), there were 612,597 hospitalisations. Large inequalities comparing children among least versus most resourced quintile was observed in low birth weight (RD: 1,823·3 hospitalisations per 100,000 children, 95% CI: 1,662·7, 1,983·9). Conditions with large inequalities comparing rural versus urban areas included low birth weight (RD: −1,833·2 hospitalisations per 100,000, 95% CI: −2,012·8, −1,653·6); and drug withdrawal syndrome in newborn (RR: 1·9, 95% CI: 1·7, 2·1; adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1·4, 95% CI: 1·2, 1·5). Conditions with large inequalities comparing males versus females included low birth weight (RD: −888·3 hospitalisations per 100,000, 95% CI: −992·5, −784·02); and anorexia nervosa (RR: 0·08, 95% CI: 0·07, 0·10; aOR: 0·1, 95% CI: 0.1, 0.1). Conditions with large inequalities comparing non-refugee immigrants versus non-immigrants included major depressive disorder (RR: 2·8, 95% CI: 2·7, 2·9), and comparing refugees versus non-immigrants included drug withdrawal syndrome in newborn (RR: 0·09, 95% CI: 0·05, 0·15). Results from multivariable analyses were similar. Interpretation: Newborn and mental health conditions had the largest inequalities in hospitalisations by the equity stratifiers. Findings from this study can be used to prioritise future health equity research to reduce health inequalities. Funding: PSI Foundation.

    • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
    • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
    • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
    • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
    • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
