Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on improving transitional care for adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as they move to adult healthcare systems, suggesting the need for tailored programs in each country.
- - A Delphi study involving adolescents, parents, and clinicians was conducted to gather expert opinions and identify key components of transitional care, with significant participation in the initial surveys.
- - While a consensus was reached on essential transitional care issues for JIA patients, further agreement is needed on practical applications of a final checklist to enhance care in Turkey.
Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a prevalent childhood chronic arthritis, often persisting into adulthood. Effective transitional care becomes crucial as these patients transition from pediatric to adult healthcare systems. Despite the concept of transitional care being recognized, its real-world implementation remains inadequately explored.
