Authors' recommendations:
There is low quality evidence that:
- Higher continuity of care is associated with decreased health service utilization.
- There is insufficient evidence on the relationship of continuity of care with disease-specific outcomes.
- There is an association between high continuity of care and patient satisfaction, particularly among patients with chronic diseases.
