Transition in epilepsy - A pilot study with patients in and outside of academic centers

CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the lack of appropriate transition to adult healthcare system (AHCS) amongst an unselected group of patients with epilepsy in Canada and United States. An overwhelming majority of patients followed in the community and in academy centers were simply "transferred" to an adult health practitioner, or they remained under the care of pediatricians. Finally, most patients lack access to significant social and medical support after moving to the AHCS.PMID:38219605 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2024.109624
