Smooth transitions: a study on how disabled youth navigate adult healthcare
NCT ID NCT07706517
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how young people with conditions like cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury move from pediatric to adult medical care. Researchers will review medical records from the past 10 years and interview patients who have already made the switch. The goal is to understand what helps or hinders a smooth transition and to reduce the number of patients who get lost to follow-up.
