Limited existing evidence suggests that adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience substantial disparities in numerous areas of health care, including quality ambulatory care. A multistate cohort of adults with IDD was analyzed for patterns of inpatient admissions and emergency department utilization. Utilization was higher (inpatient [RR = 3.2], emergency department visits [RR = 2.6]) for adults with IDD, particularly for ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (eg, urinary tract [RR = 6.6] and respiratory infections [RRs = 5.5-24.7]), and psychiatric conditions (RRs = 5.8-15). Findings underscore the importance of access to ambulatory care skilled in IDD-related needs to recognize and treat ambulatory care-sensitive conditions and to manage chronic medical and mental health conditions.
现有有限的证据表明,智力和发育障碍(ID)成年人在包括门诊护理在内的许多医疗保健领域存在巨大差距。对一个多州 ID 成年人队列进行了分析,以了解住院入院和急诊就诊的模式。 ID 成年人的利用率更高(住院[RR = 3.2],急诊就诊[RR = 2.6]),特别是对于需要门诊护理的疾病(例如,尿路感染[RR = 6.6]和呼吸道感染[RRs = 5.5-24.7])和精神疾病(RRs = 5.8-15)。这些发现强调了需要获得熟悉 ID 相关需求的门诊护理的重要性,以识别和治疗需要门诊护理的疾病,并管理慢性医疗和心理健康疾病。
