Popis: There is growing evidence that the health of young people with chronic health conditions deteriorates during the transfer from child-centred to adult-oriented health care. Risks include not only the deterioration of health status in general but also the occurrence of secondary diseases and adverse events. Transition programs have been implemented. However, there is a lack of evidence about whether they reduce these risks and which interventions should be principally included. Evidence-based guidelines for the transition of young people should be introduced. In this study we therefore aim to summarise actual evidence on somatic outcomes during the transition period.
