The challenge for all pediatric neurosurgeons is providing comprehensive and coordinated care for these patients in order to achieve a smooth and seamless transition into adult health care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A review of the literature was conducted regarding the overall concept of pediatric patients with chronic conditions transitioning to adult care. We also specifically reviewed the pediatric hydrocephalus literature to investigate the barriers of transition, models of success, and specific elements required in a transition policy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review identified several barriers that hamper smooth and successful transition from pediatric to adult care within the hydrocephalus population. These included patient-related, cultural\/society-related, healthcare provider-related, and healthcare system-related barriers. Six elements for successful transitions were noted: transition policy, tracking and monitoring, transition readiness, transition planning, transfer of care, and transition completion stemming from the Got Transition center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A successful patient transition from pediatric neurosurgical care to adult neurosurgical care is very center-specific and depends on the available resources within that center's hospital, health system, and geo-economic environment. Six recommendations are made for transition policy implementation in resource-poor environments, including beginning the process early, preferably at age 14 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0028-3886.332245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,28]],"date-time":"2021-12-28T01:37:09Z","timestamp":1640655429000},"page":"S390-S394","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Pediatric to Adult Hydrocephalus"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Manilyn A","family":"Hong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arvind","family":"Sukumaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay","family":"Riva-Cambrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1016\/j.spen.2009.01.002","article-title":"A contemporary definition and classification of hydrocephalus","volume":"16","author":"Rekate","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sem Ped Neurol"},{"key":"R2-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1016\/j.spen.2009.02.001","article-title":"Treatment of hydrocephalus in adults","volume":"16","author":"Hamilton","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sem Ped Neurol"},{"key":"R3-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1053\/j.sempedsurg.2015.01.005","article-title":"Transitional care in pediatric neurosurgical patients","volume":"24","author":"Rothstein","year":"2015","journal-title":"Semin Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R4-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E1","DOI":"10.3171\/2016.6.FOCUS16272","article-title":"Introduction: Adult hydrocephalus","volume":"41","author":"Hamilton","year":"2016","journal-title":"Neurosurg Focus"},{"key":"R5-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0204926","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0204926","article-title":"Age-specific global epidemiology of hydrocephalus: Systematic review, metanalysis and global birth surveillance [published correction appears in PLoS One 2019;14:e0210851]","volume":"13","author":"Isaacs","year":"2018","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"R6-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1773","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.2.JNS183538","article-title":"The clinical spectrum of hydrocephalus in adults: Report of the first 517 patients of the Adult Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network registry","volume":"132","author":"Williams","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"R7-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1065","DOI":"10.3171\/2017.10.JNS17439","article-title":"Global hydrocephalus epidemiology and incidence: Systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"130","author":"Dewan","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"R8-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.1177\/0036933014556200","article-title":"Transition into adult healthcare services in Scotland: Findings from a study concerning service users at the Scottish Spina Bifida Association","volume":"59","author":"Levy","year":"2014","journal-title":"Scott Med J"},{"key":"R9-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e150","DOI":"10.1093\/pch\/pxy016","article-title":"Transitioning in hydrocephalus: Current practices in Canadian paediatric neurosurgery centres","volume":"23","author":"Singh","year":"2018","journal-title":"Paediatr Child Health"},{"key":"R10-22-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1431","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-3834","article-title":"Who will care for me next?
