The Chao PC scale (see Additional file 1: Appendix A) was originally tested in a small study in the USA (n = 147) [ 9].

This paper re-examines the underlying constructs of the Chao PC scale and tests its discriminatory properties to determine its suitability as a measure of patient-perceived continuity.

Thereafter the Chao PC scale was sent by post to 200 patients who had already completed their final SOS2 study assessment.

We investigate the Chao Perception of Continuity (Chao PC) scale to determine its suitability as a measure of continuity of care for patients with a long-term condition (stroke), and co-morbidity, in a primary care setting.

Intervention: A 23-item questionnaire, the Chao Perception of Continuity (Chao PC) scale, sent by post to their place of residence or administered face to face as part of the final cohort study assessment.

The Chao PC scale consists of a self-administered questionnaire containing 23 items organised in two sections: Section 1 items assess the care process, which Chao described as objective items; and Section 2 the relational (or remaining) dimensions of continuity.

The overall mean score of the Chao-PC scale in our sample was 3.7 (SD 0.6; range 2.2 to 5.0), which is comparable with that found by Chao in the original study (3.6; SD 0.6; range 2.2 to 4.9).
