Addressing the unmet needs of transitional care in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Authors' conclusion
The need for transitioning children with rheumatic diseases to adult rheumatology services for continued care is clearly evident. However, the absence of established best practice guidelines presents a challenge in facilitating this transition effectively. Although several scoring systems have been proposed to ensure organized and seamless transfers, a consensus has not yet been reached.
