Transition from pediatric to adult care for those with chronic illnesses must have special considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has significantly disrupted social, economic, and health care practices globally. Young adults with special health care needs are at increased risk for poor outcomes during this unprecedented time. We have found that heightened anxiety, health care service disruption, and other logistical complications surrounding the new virus may further confound health care transitions. Increased communication and collaboration with young adults is necessary to provide patient-centered care and ensure they successfully cross the transition chasm.
对于患有慢性病的儿童，在向成人护理过渡期间，必须在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间进行特殊考虑。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）已在全球范围内严重扰乱了社会、经济和医疗保健实践。在这个前所未有的时期，有特殊医疗需求的年轻人出现不良后果的风险增加。我们发现，围绕这种新病毒的焦虑加剧、医疗服务中断以及其他后勤并发症可能会进一步混淆医疗过渡。加强与年轻人的沟通与协作对于提供以患者为中心的护理并确保他们成功跨越过渡鸿沟是必要的。
