Transition Readiness in Adolescents and Young Adults Living With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Authors' conclusion
Self-reported transition readiness was found in the majority of adolescents and young adults with CAH. A good medication adherence rate was associated with a better transition readiness and a good transition readiness was associated with increased QoL scores.
