Introduction: Young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at the risk of poor outcomes when transferring to adult providers. We aimed to increase the percentage of patients with 14-17 years of age undergoing the transition of care and the percentage of patients 18-21 years of age initiating the transfer of care to 50% for 12 months. Our goal was also to improve patient satisfaction with the transfer process.

Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization and antibodies formation against non-self antigens on red cells may occur after blood transfusion, pregnancies or other exposures.
