Key Points

• To investigate the increased mortality rate among patients transitioning from pediatric intestinal rehabilitation programs to adult care.
• Retrospective cohort design
• Analysis of medical complexity through devices and comorbidities
• Assessment of mortality rates during care transition
• Patients experienced higher mortality rates post-transition
• No significant difference in medical complexity based on devices or comorbidities
• Need for structured transition programs highlighted
