Patient-reported ratings of transfer to adult care among young adults with chronic kidney disease.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Teenagers and young adults with kidney disease have to move from a children's clinic to an adult one. This study asked them to rate how that handover went and looked at what made it better or worse. Ratings varied a lot between people. It is a survey, so it shows which experiences go together, not what causes a bad handover.
