Eleven of 22 federally funded Comprehensive Hemophilia Centers have collected data on outcomes, before and after five years of this program's existence. Improved health, decreased hospitalization, decreased absenteeism, and a decrease in the unemployment rate from 36 per cent to 13 per cent were accompanied by decreased costs of care. In this model of a chronic handicapping illness, the early application of comprehensive care is preferable to the previous emphasis on end-stage rehabilitative efforts.
在该项目实施五年前后，22家由联邦政府资助的综合血友病治疗中心中的11家收集了相关结果数据。健康状况改善、住院次数减少、缺勤率降低，失业率从36%降至13%，同时护理成本也有所下降。在这种慢性致残疾病的模式中，早期应用综合护理比以往强调的终末期康复努力更为可取。
