Transition Care in Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic childhood illness with gradually improving survival and significant burden of disease during adult life. Transition of CF care from pediatric to an adult based multidisciplinary team is a complex process and careful coordination with a transition key worker is necessary for successful transition without adverse outcome. Transition is associated with a key change in CF management with shift from family-centred care to self-reliance and independence on part of the patient. Readiness and skills of self-managed care play central part in successful transition. Resource materials for transition are available online for different countries for improved readiness and smooth transition. Situation is worse in resource-limited settings as facilities of fully functional adult multidisciplinary care for CF is not readily available.
