Lost But Not Missing: Factors Associated With Loss Of Follow-Up In A Pediatric Cardiology Clinic

Background: Prior research has shown that loss of cardiology follow-up starts in early childhood, with almost half of patients lost to follow-up by age 13. However, risk factors for lack of follow-up are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine variables associated with loss of appropriate pediatric cardiology follow-up, including potentially modifiable factors. We hypothesized that having earlier recommend follow-up times was associated with less likelihood of loss of follow-up. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients seen in a large, outpatient pediatric practice with over 20 locations in our state. The time period for initial encounters was from …
