Outcomes following a multi-disciplinary pediatric-to-adult transition and transfer clinic at a level four epilepsy center.

Data demonstrating statistically significant improvement in care has not been reported for an epilepsy transition clinic model. This study establishes that our clinic model improves continuity of care in this at-risk population. Our clinic model also successfully transitioned and transferred patients with pharmacoresistant and/or genetically mediated epilepsy, often cited as having barriers to successful transfer. This work also suggests that this clinic structure has potential to foster the growth of associated adult epilepsy subspecialty practices. These findings are encouraging as they offer potential for improved health care in the youth and young adult epilepsy population.
