作者比较了文献中最近提出的四种不同的连续性护理措施。首先，进行了分析比较，并导出了有用的不等式。然后，连续性指数适用于广泛的数据材料，从瑞典的门诊护理中心。这四个指数给出了相当相似的结果，基本的发现是老年患者的指数值显著较高。最后，将计算出的指数值与随机分配患者给医生的方案下的预期值进行比较
The authors compared four different continuity-of-care measures recently suggested in the literature. First, an analytic comparison is made and useful inequalities are derived. Then the continuity indexes are applied to an extensive data material from a Swedish ambulatory care center. The four indexes give fairly similar results, and the basic finding is the substantially higher index values for elderly patients. Finally, computed index values are compared with what could be expected under a scheme of random assignment of patients to doctors
