Transition to Adult Care in Childhood‐Onset Epilepsy: A Retrospective Cohort Study at a Japanese Children's Hospital

We studied how young people with epilepsy move from children's hospitals to adult healthcare. Most patients successfully transitioned to adult care. During the observation period, transfer was more likely among those with different types of epilepsy and those who received support from transition services. Patients who were also seeing other medical departments tended to transfer less often. Our study highlights factors that may help plan better support for patients with childhood-onset epilepsy.
