Continuity between doctors and patients likely affects patient satisfaction.
To assess the current evidence on the relationship between continuity and patient satisfaction.
Systematic review of studies of adults in general, family, or internal medicine practices with ongoing, direct, face-to-face contact with their physician. Measures of the relationship between continuity and patient satisfaction were examined.
A MEDLINE search covering 1984-2007 and a Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature search covering 1981-2007 identified 263 relevant studies and 12 studies met inclusion criteria. There were 12 different continuity measures and 9 different satisfaction measures.
Continuity has a variable effect on patient satisfaction.

对成人在一般、家庭或内科实践中与医生进行持续、直接、面对面接触的研究进行系统评价。研究考察了连续性与患者满意度之间的关系。
对 1984 年至 2007 年的 MEDLINE 搜索和对 1981 年至 2007 年的 Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature 搜索共确定了 263 项相关研究,其中 12 项研究符合纳入标准。有 12 种不同的连续性测量方法和 9 种不同的满意度测量方法。
