summary/abstract:What is transition?
Transition is when a person moves from their childhood doctor, to an adult doctor. This happens from the ages of 18-30.
Transitioning from childhood to adult care can be a hard time for people living with sickle cell disease. People transitioning have the highest number of hospital visits and repeat hospital visits compared to older people with sickle cell disease.
