Transitional Care in Anorectal Malformation and Hirschsprung's Disease: A Systematic Review of Challenges and Solutions
Topic overview
This systematic review examines the challenges and solutions in transitioning adolescent patients with anorectal malformation and Hirschsprung's disease from pediatric to adult care. The study identifies gaps in standardized guidelines and proposes a framework for improving continuity of colorectal care during this critical developmental period.
Key takeaways
- No standardized guidelines exist for transitioning ARM and HD patients from pediatric to adult colorectal care.
- Literature on ARM/HD transitional care is heterogeneous, lacking unified frameworks for clinical handoff.
- Systematic categorization of transition challenges can inform development of condition-specific care pathways.
- Addressing transition gaps may improve long-term bowel management outcomes in ARM and HD patients.
- Establishing evidence-based transition protocols is critical for continuity of specialized colorectal care.
