Resumen

FIGUEROA-GUTIERREZ, Luis M.  y  SOTO-CHAQUIR, Mercy. Transitional care from adolescence to adulthood. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.6, pp.784-786.  Epub 20-Oct-2020. ISSN 0124-0064.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v20n6.70407.

Transitional care aims to facilitate the effective transfer of children suffering from chronic diseases to the medical staff in charge of adult care, ensuring appropriate long-term management, early identification of possible complications, and reduction of morbidity and costs associated with the provision of health services.

In several countries, significant progress in this regard has been made, and even consensus on the aspects necessary for the development of transitional care has been reached, including the general principles from the policy to its implementation, with good results in the patients.

Despite these advances, in many countries such as Colombia, where the pediatric population suffering from chronic diseases that reach adolescence and then adulthood Is on the rise, little is known about transitional care. It is necessary to generate research and interdisciplinary works to meet the multiple needs of this emerging population, their families and caregivers.

Palabras clave : Transitional care; anorectal malformations; social support; chronic disease (source: MeSH; NML).
