Effectiveness of Patient Navigation During Transition to Adult Care
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Importance: Transition to adult care is a challenging and complex process for youth and emerging adults with chronic health and/or mental health conditions. Patient navigation has been proposed to improve care during transition, but previous studies have used single disease cohorts with a nonrandomized design. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a patient navigator service to reduce emergency department (ED) use among adolescents and emerging adults with chronic health and/or mental health conditions undergoing transition to adult-oriented health care. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a pragmatic, parallel-group, nonblinded randomized clinical trial design. Patients were followed up for a minimum 12 months and maximum 24 months after enrollment. The setting was the Canadian province of Alberta, with a population of 4.3 million inhabitants, having 3 tertiary care pediatric hospitals serving the entire population with universal health coverage. Participants included youth aged 16 to 21 years, followed up within a diverse array of chronic care clinics, expected to be transferred to adult care within 12 months, residing in Alberta, Canada. Interventions: A 1:1 allocation to either access to a personalized navigator, an experienced social worker within the health services environment, or usual care, for up to 24 months after randomization. Main Outcomes and Measures: All-cause ED visit rate while under observation. Results: A total of 335 participants were randomized over a period of 45 months, 164 (49.0%) to the intervention arm and 171 (51.0%) to usual care. After 1 patient withdrew, 334 participants (usual care: mean [SD] age, 17.8 [0.7] years; 99 female [57.9%]; intervention: mean [SD] age, 17.7 [0.6] years; 81 male [49.7%]) were included in the final data analysis. Among the participants, 131 (39.2%) resided in a rural location, and 126 (37.7%) had a self-reported mental health comorbidity during baseline assessment. We observed significant effect modification in the relationship between intervention and ED visits based on mental health comorbidity. Among those with a self-reported mental health condition, ED visit rates were lower in those with access to the navigator, but the association was not significant (adjusted incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.75; 95% CI, 0.47-1.19). Among those with no mental health comorbidity, the corresponding adjusted IRR was 1.45 (95% CI, 0.95-2.20). Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, the navigator intervention was not associated with a significant reduction in ED visits among youth with chronic health conditions transitioning to adult care. The study did not accrue sufficient sample size to demonstrate a significant difference between groups should it exist. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03342495.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
