Abstract: Pediatric-to-adult transition in chronic disease care is often poorly managed. While there is growing interest in this field, existing reviews of transition models, which are critical in informing the development of best practices and evaluation metrics in transitional care, do not explore the critical design features of models that best improve health outcomes. This systematic review compares existing such models and the design features that positively impact clinical outcomes. Five databases were searched (Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, CENTRAL) until 2018. English-language evaluations (with defined clinical outcomes) of existing models for patients aged 13–28 with a pediatric-onset chronic disease were pulled. Cochrane tools were used for data extraction and risk-of-bias assessment.
