NCT ID NCT07585175
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a program to help young adults with congenital heart disease transition from pediatric to adult care. The program includes a nurse check-in, a diagnosis summary, an education day, and a handover video call. Researchers will track whether this reduces hospital visits and health declines during the wait for adult specialist care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multi-pronged transfer program (nurse check-in, diagnosis summary, education day, handover video call)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could reduce hospitalizations and emergency visits during the wait for adult care, making the transition safer for young heart patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with 200 participants, so results may not apply everywhere. The program adds extra steps to care, and its benefits over standard transition are not yet proven.
