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.
