title: Pediatric Neurosurgery Patients Need More than a Pediatric Neurosurgeon. Part II. A Clinical Report: In the USA Lack of Parent/Caregiver Compliance Interferes with the Patient Care Sequence.
abstract: We have previously reported on the initiation, development, and preliminary results of a comprehensive multidisciplinary team for the long-term management of children with neurosurgical conditions other than spina bifida. This report addresses the follow-up of the care of these patients and identifies limitations in the care sequence including, but not limited to, lack of parental/caregiver compliance, unmet educational needs, and medical insurance issues.
