Questionnaire Survey on Transitional Medicine for Pediatric Patients with Viral Hepatitis
In October 2021, to elucidate the issues that should be resolved before the transition, a questionnaire survey regarding the transitional care of childhood-onset viral liver disease was administered to 204 councilors of the Japan Society of Hepatology. Of the 86 councilors (42.2%) who responded, 31 (36%) received referrals from pediatric departments for patients with viral hepatitis in the preceding 5 years. Considering the difficulties encountered in accepting the patients and the information that would be needed, the most common opinion was that a transition system acceptable to patients and caregivers should be created. Therefore, according to the results of this survey, we aimed to develop a manual for transitioning pediatric patients with viral hepatitis into adult care.
