Authors' conclusion
The Transition-KompAZ appears to be a reliable tool for assessing important dimensions of transition.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents and young adults (16–25 years) with inflammatory rheumatic diseases transitioning from pediatric to adult rheumatology, 12 rheumatology sites
- Participants
- 173 adolescents12 rheumatology sites
