More than 90% of adolescents and young adults with chronic medical conditions will survive into adulthood. Transitioning from pediatric to adult health care services for these individuals has often times been associated with deterioration of their health and Quality of Life. Separation from their pediatric provider and lack of preparedness of the adult health care system has been identified as major barriers in preventing the successful transition of these individuals. The purpose of this review is to summarize the available data related to transitioning adolescents and young adults (AYA) with special health care needs into the adult health care system.
超过90%患有慢性疾病的青少年和青年将存活至成年期。为这些人从儿科医疗服务过渡到成人医疗服务，常常伴随着他们健康状况和生活质量的恶化。与儿科医疗服务提供者分离以及成人医疗系统准备不足，已被确定为阻碍这些人成功过渡的主要障碍。本综述的目的是总结与有特殊医疗需求的青少年和青年（AYA）过渡到成人医疗系统相关的现有数据。
