Building a transitional care checklist in rheumatology: A Delphi-like survey

This Delphi-like study defined what themes should be included and at what age they need to be addressed with patients with a chronic rheumatology disease and their families during transition. This checklist reached a strong international and interdisciplinary consensus while examining transition in a broad way. It should now be spread widely to health professionals to be used by all those who care for adolescents aged ≥ 12 years at times of transition. It could be transposed to most chronic conditions. Recommendations for further research are given.
