Background: Care transitions between general practice and hospital are hazardous regarding patient safety. For developing an improvement strategy adjusted to local settings, understanding of type and potential causes of transitional safety incidents (TSIs) is needed.
Objectives: To provide a broad overview of the nature of TSIs reported by patients and healthcare professionals.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined long-term outcomes in adult patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and associated kidney tumors called angiomyolipomas over a median follow-up of 15.8 years.
- Out of 351 TSC patients, 244 (69.5%) had angiomyolipoma, and 144 of these (59.0%) were at high risk due to severe stages, correlating older age with a higher stage of disease.
- The study found significant kidney-related complications, including hypertension and decreased kidney function, leading to increased mortality in the TSC group, which was notably higher compared to the general population (standardized mortality ratio of 4.8).
