Scoping review identifies barriers and gaps in healthcare transition for young adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, highlighting the need for better strategies.
Key Points
MAIN FINDING: Effective healthcare transition (HCT) is crucial for individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), yet significant gaps in knowledge exist.
KEY EVIDENCE: Eighteen studies were reviewed, revealing barriers such as clinician shortages and socioeconomic challenges affecting HCT outcomes.
APPROACH: The review systematically analyzed literature from databases like PubMed, focusing on HCT experiences and readiness for individuals with CAH.
SIGNIFICANCE: Addressing these barriers and knowledge gaps is essential to improve patient outcomes and ensure continuity of care for CAH patients.
