Current practice of transitional care for adolescents and young adults in Swiss paediatric and adult rheumatology centres

CONCLUSION: Transition in Switzerland is not uniform and consequently the implementation of the EULAR/PReS recommendations is variable in Swiss rheumatology centres. Skills of healthcare professionals, continuity between clinical settings, size of the centres, and hospital focus on the needs of adolescents and young adults may represent key predictors of successful transitional care for patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. Future studies should examine these variables.PMID:34797619 | DOI:10.4414/smw.2021.w30046
