Background Rehospitalization rates are increasingly used as quality indicators for a variety of illnesses, including sickle cell disease. While one small, single center study suggested outpatient follow-up with a pediatric hematologist was associated with fewer rehospitalizations, no study has examined the effect of post-discharge outpatient follow-up on rehospitalization rates across ages and beyond a single site.
