Care continuity prevents increased health care utilization and mortality during transition from pediatric to adult care. Our program employs a co-located care delivery model, in which pediatric provider involvement continues during young adulthood. We tested the hypothesis that individuals who participated in the co-located model have greater retention in adult care compared to those who only received pediatric transition services.

过渡护理连续性促进镰状细胞病年轻成人长期保留成人护理

护理连续性可防止在从儿科护理过渡到成人护理期间增加医疗保健利用率和死亡率。我们的计划采用同地护理提供模式，儿科提供者在青年期继续参与其中。我们检验了这样的假设，即与仅接受儿科过渡服务的人相比，参与同地模式的个人在成人护理中的保留率更高。
