| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST Thv8SR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Context Inner-city high-risk infants often receive limited and fragmented care, a problem that may increase serious illness. Objective To assess whether access to comprehensive care in a follow-up clinic is cost-effective in reducing life-threatening illnesses among high-risk, inner-city infants. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting and Participants A total of 887 very-low-birth-weight infants born in a Texas county hospital between January 1988 and March 1996 and followed up in a children's hospital clinic. One hundred four infants who became ineligible or died after randomization but before nursery discharge were excluded from the analysis. Interventions Infants were randomly assigned to receive routine follow-up care (well-baby care and care for chronic illnesses ; n=441) or comprehensive care (which included the components of routine care plus care for acute illnesses, with 24-hour access to a primary caregiver ; n=446). Main Outcome Measures Life-threatening illnesses (ie, causing death or hospital admission for pediatric intensive care) occurring between nursery discharge and age 1 year, assessed by blinded evaluators from inpatient charts and state Medicaid and vital statistics records ; and hospital costs (estimated from department-specific cost-to-charge ratios). Results Comprehensive care resulted in a mean of 3.1 more clinic visits and 6.7 more telephone conversations with clinic staff (P<. 001 for both). (...) |
