title: Longitudinal study of symptom control and quality of life indicators with patients receiving community-based case management services.
abstract: A longitudinal study examined seven outcomes of chronically ill patients receiving community-based case management services. A repeated-measures analysis showed that these patients reported greater satisfaction with quality of life and personal well-being and controlled their symptoms better, but declined in self-care activities of daily living and in self-care instrumental activities of daily living.
