Fragmentation of Care for Young Adults with Sickle Cell Disease in California
The data associated with this publication are not available for this reason: N/A
Abstract
- Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) predominantly affects people of African ancestry and a multidisciplinary complex care model has been suggested to optimize care
- Young adults (YA) 18-25 years of age transition from pediatric to adult models of care and the effect of receiving care at multiple medical facilities (fragmentation) during this time on outcomes has not been well-described
- We sought to examine fragmentation of care for YA SCD patients and the potential effect of fragmentation on mortality.
