Abstract
In this issue of The Journal, Dombkowski et al from the University of Michigan have studied the relationship between continuity of medical providers and exacerbations of asthma. The results showed that children with multiple prescribers in different practices had an increased risk of requiring a visit to the emergency room; this relationship was true for those with both high and those with low prescription frequency. The results suggest that relative disorganization of care is associated with poor asthma control. They also show that providers may not be able to identify high risk patients based simply on the number of prescriptions for symptom-relieving medication. Article page 788▸
