Targeted Preventive Care May Be Needed for Adults with Congenital Spine Anomalies

To compare hospitalizations caused by spina bifida–sensitive conditions, ambulatory care–sensitive conditions in adults with spina bifida and in the general population, our aim was to provide information about whether preventive health efforts already underway in the hospitalized general population are adequate for preventive care in spina bifida and congenital spine anomalies.
