Abstract
Background
Numerous studies have tried to determine the association between continuity and outcomes. Studies doing so must actually measure continuity. If continuity and outcomes are measured concurrently, their association can only be determined with time-dependent methods.
Objective
To identify and summarize all methodologically studies that measure the association between continuity of care and patient outcomes.
