Design and rationale for Exploring Predictors of successful healthCare Transition for adolescents with chronic conditions in a longitudinal explorative cohort.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare is a pivotal phase for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with chronic conditions. Effective healthcare transition (HCT) supports continued healthcare engagement and stable psychosocial outcomes, reducing risks for patients, their families, and the healthcare system. Yet the determinants of a smooth transition are complex, shaped by the interplay of various biopsychosocial constructs. Objective: The ExPeCT study (acronym: Exploring Predictors of a successful healthCare Transition) seeks to: A) examine the relationship between biopsychosocial development, transition readiness, and HCT outcomes, including patients' experiences; and B) identify key predictors of successful HCT in AYAs with chronic conditions. Method: This longitudinal, observational, exploratory cohort study is embedded in the PROactive cohort, which annually measures biopsychosocial well-being of children with chronic conditions. The ExPeCT study supplements the PROactive cohort by collecting additional data on HCT experiences at three time points: once in paediatric care and twice after transfer to adult care.Data will be obtained from a range of chronic disease groups. Advanced statistical modelling will be employed to analyse transition outcomes and experiences, and to investigate associations between biopsychosocial development and transition readiness. Significance: This study is expected to fill a critical gap in the field by providing comprehensive understanding of predictors of successful healthcare transition in AYAs with chronic conditions. The insights gained will help improve care strategies and guide healthcare professionals in supporting successful transition to adult care.
