Summary

This study evaluates the impact of the CAPAdJA transition support program on care continuity for young patients with chronic rheumatic diseases at Bordeaux University Hospital. The primary objective is to compare the proportion of patients lost to follow-up six months after the transition consultation between those who benefited from CAPAdJA and those who did not.

Detailed description

The transition from pediatric to adult healthcare is a critical period for young patients with chronic diseases. This period carries risks such as disruptions in continuity of care, worsening symptoms, and a deterioration in quality of life. To address these challenges, transition support programs have been developed, including the CAPAdJA program, implemented in 2017 at Bordeaux University Hospital. While such programs seem to play a key role in structuring the transition process, their impact on care continuity and patient satisfaction remains poorly documented. The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of the CAPAdJA program on the proportion of young patients lost to follow-up. Patients included six months after the pediatric-to-adult rheumatology transition consultation realized in the context of programm CAPADJA or not. The secondary objectives are to provide an overview of the medical and demographic characteristics of the transition in rheumatology at Bordeaux University Hospital and to analyze the impact of CAPAdJA on patient satisfaction and quality of life. Demographic and medical data will be collected using Dxcare. Then, patients will be categorized into two groups: those who benefited from the CAPAdJA support program and those who did not. Investigators will then compare the proportion of patients lost to follow-up in each group, as well as their responses to self-administered questionnaires focusing on quality of life and patient satisfaction.
