A Global Perspective on Transition Models for Pediatric to Adult Cystic Fibrosis Care: What Has Been Made So Far? J Clin Med 2024; 13:7428. [PMID: 39685886 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13237428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2024] [Revised: 11/25/2024] [Accepted: 12/04/2024] [Indexed: 12/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Interest in the transition of care for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has grown significantly over time, driven by advancements in treatment that have extended life expectancy. As more CF patients survive into adulthood, the need for structured transition strategies has become a priority for healthcare systems worldwide. Transition programs for CF differ globally, reflecting varying resources and healthcare systems. In North America, the US CF Foundation has fostered adult care since the 1990s, with accreditation standards mandating adult programs and structured transition guidelines, exemplified by the CF RISE program for gradual responsibility shifts. Canada integrates US-inspired models, emphasizing national advocacy and outcomes evaluation. In Europe, approaches varies widely; the UK leads with structured programs like the Liverpool model and robust registry support, while France and Germany adopt multidisciplinary methods. In Australia and New Zealand, youth-centered policies prioritize early planning and access via telemedicine. In Asia, where CF is rare, transitions are less formalized, with some progress in countries like Japan and Turkey, though resource gaps and limited data tracking remain significant challenges. Despite varied approaches across countries, common barriers like resource limitations and psychological readiness continue to challenge successful transitions. Highlighting the importance of centralized, well-coordinated transition programs, recent initiatives have focused on the implementation of national and international CF registries to enhance health outcomes and quality of life. This narrative review provides a global perspective on transition strategies developed across various healthcare systems for CF patients, identifying best practices, common challenges, and outcomes related to the continuity of care.

Abstract
This grounded theory study aimed to explore the subjective experiences of children living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from the perspective of children and their families in Indonesia. Twenty participants were interviewed, consisting of 12 children aged 9-18 years and eight family members. Using grounded theory analysis, this study identified three categories: 'coping with diagnosis', 'disclosing their status' and 'living with the stigma of HIV'. Participants responded with shock, denial, sadness, secrecy and often had misconceptions about the virus to the diagnosis of themselves or their children. After diagnosis, children with HIV and their families continuously lived with stigma stemming from individual and societal beliefs about the virus. This stigma manifested in actions such as isolation, disclosure avoidance, secrecy, deception and social rejection. Because of these stigmatisations, many of the participants decided not to disclose the child's HIV status and used status strategies such as telling lies, keeping secrets and keeping their distance. The participants offered insight into the need for comprehensive programs to address care gaps. This study highlights that health professionals need to develop practical guidelines to support families during the disclosure process, provide psychosocial care for children, and create stigma reduction interventions for children with HIV.

Abstract
Background Adolescents with perinatal HIV (APHIV) experience emotional turmoil, which is worsened by real or perceived negative impacts on the adolescents' relationships, aspirations for their careers, and aspirations for their families. Objectives To explore the experiences of APHIV with regard to social support on their mental health and general well-being in the Vhembe District of Limpopo province. Method A mixed-methods sequential exploratory design was employed to conduct in-depth one-on-one interviews in the Vhembe District of the Limpopo province of South Africa. The interviews were conducted in selected community health centres and clinics over a period of four months (April 2019 - July 2019). This study included APHIV between the ages of 10 years and 19 years who had been initiated on antiretroviral therapy before the age of 10 years. Results Two major themes emerged. Theme 1 - Experiences within the family - included the sub-themes experience of positive social support within the family, and lack of support in the family. Theme 2 - Experiences outside the family - included the sub-themes experiences at the clinic, experiences at community level, and experiences at school and with friends. Conclusion Adolescents with perinatal HIV are in need of social support from their loved ones as well as the community. Expansion of household programmes and intervention through integration of services by the multidisciplinary team might assist with alleviating the social support needs which will improve their mental health and adherence to treatment.

Abstract
Thalassemia is one of the most common hemoglobinopathies affecting a large number of people in India and other countries of South-East Asia. For patients with most severe form of the disease- Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia (TDT), stem cell transplantation or gene therapy are only curative treatment which are not available to most of the patients because of lack of experts, financial constraints and lack of suitable donors. In such situations, most cases are managed with regular blood transfusion and iron chelation therapy. With this treatment, over the years, survival of the patients has improved and 20-40% cases are entering into adulthood. In the absence of structured transition of care programs, currently most adult TDT patients are being managed by pediatricians. This article highlights the need for transition of care for TDT patients, barriers to transition and how to overcome the barriers and process of transition of care to adult care team. The importance of empowering the patients in self-management of the disease and educating the adult care team to achieve the desired outcome of transition program is highlighted.

Abstract
Health-care transition (HCT) from pediatric-centered to adult-oriented health-care setting is more than a simple transfer of care. It is a carefully planned movement specially tailored for the needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Similar to other chronic diseases, the need for HCT for AYAs with kidney disease has been well established by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Pediatric Nephrology Association (IPNA) consensus statements since 2011. However, successful HCT in India and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has been limited. Undertaking the HCT program in India requires involvement of many stakeholders, that is, AYAs, parents/caregivers, health-care providers, and the health-care system. In this article, we discuss the need for HCT, the challenges faced during the transition, and the recommended models for HCT in kidney care. We focus on the unique challenges faced in India and conclude with practical suggestions to implement HCT in our setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the Link Worker Scheme to address the HIV risk and vulnerabilities in rural areas, reaching out to unreached men having sex with men (MSM) remains a challenge in rural India. This study explored issues around health care access and programmatic gaps among MSM in rural settings of India. METHODS We conducted eight Focused Group Discussions (FGDs), 20 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), and 20 In-Depth Interviews (IDIs) in four rural sites in Maharashtra, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh between November 2018 and September 2019. The data in the local language were audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated. Data were analyzed in NVivo version 11.0 software using the grounded theory approach. RESULTS Primary barriers to health care access were lack of knowledge, myths and misconceptions, not having faith in the quality of services, program invisibility in a rural setting, and anticipated stigma at government health facilities. Government-targeted intervention services did not seem to be optimally advertised in rural areas as MSM showed a lack of information about it. Those who knew reported not accessing the available government facilities due to lack of ambient services, fear of the stigma transforming into fear of breach of confidentiality. One MSM from Odisha expressed, "…they get fear to go to the hospital because they know that hospital will not maintain confidentiality because they are local people. If society will know about them, then family life will be disturbed" [OR-R-KI-04]. Participants expressed the desire for services similar to those provided by the Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), frontline health workers for MSM. CONCLUSION Programme invisibility emerges as the most critical issue for rural and young MSM. Adolescent and panthis emerged as Hidden MSM and they need focused attention from the programme. The need for village-level workers such as ASHA specifically for the MSM population emerged. MSM-friendly health clinics would help to improve healthcare access in rural MSMs under Sexual and Reproductive Health Care.

Abstract
The enrichment and diversity of gut microbiota play an important role in sepsis, but the role of gut microbiota composition and early-life colonization in sepsis and septic shock has not yet been characterized. The impact of gut microbiota diversity on host immunological disorders and future treatments of inflammatory diseases are not yet fully elucidated. Further, the association between the microbiota and immune development in sepsis remains unknown, and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The altered composition of gut microbiota during sepsis is profoundly associated with a loss of commensal bacteria and an overgrowth of potentially pathogenic bacteria, especially AMR bacteria. Disruptions of gut microbiota diversity are directly associated with susceptibility to sepsis and a higher risk of adverse outcomes. Several studies have confirmed that a mutual association between gut microbiota and the host is important for the metabolism of essential nutrients for the organism, for gut development, and for the maturation and development of a fully functional immune system. Therefore, understanding the gut microbiota diversity, composition, and function during various inflammatory conditions and sepsis may provide a comprehensive knowledge of the mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of gut-derived infection in diseases and the design of new treatment options (e.g., probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation). Emerging evidence displays an important role of gut microbiota and their derived metabolites in modulating the host mucosal immune response and determining the susceptibility to, as well as outcomes of sepsis.

Abstract
Justification Adolescent health is critical to the current and future well- being of the world. Pediatricians need country specific guidelines in accordance with international and national standards to establish comprehensive adolescent friendly health services in clinical practice. Process Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) in association with Adolescent Health Academy formed a committee of subject experts in June, 2019 to formulate guidelines for adolescent friendly health services. After a review of current scientific literature and drafting guidelines on each topic, a national consultative meeting was organized on 16 August, 2019 for detailed discussions and deliberations. This was followed by discussions over e-mail and refining of draft recommendations. The final guidelines were approved by the IAP Executive Board in December, 2021. Objective To formulate guidelines to enable pediatricians to establish adolescent friendly health services. Recommendations Pediatricians should coordinate healthcare for adolescents and plan for transition of care to an adult physician by 18 years of age. Pediatricians should establish respectful, confidential and quality adolescent friendly health services for both out-patient and in-patient care. The healthcare facility should provide preventive, therapeutic, and health promoting services. Pediatricians should partner with the multidisciplinary speciality services, community, and adolescents to expand the scope and reach of adolescent friendly health services.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Approximately 5 million adolescents (ages 15-24 years) living with HIV will transition to adult care in the next decade. Only half are engaged in care 12 months post-transition. This qualitative metasynthesis aimed to answer: What effect did the patient-provider relationship (PPR) have on adolescent living with HIV transition? What strategies were suggested to develop trusting relationships to promote engagement and retention in care? Primary qualitative studies from PubMed, CINAHL, and EBSCO (January 2008 to December 2019) were identified. Data were analyzed using team-based thematic synthesis techniques and international standards. Fourteen articles with 478 participants from eight countries were included. Four themes emerged: the familial nature of the PPR, stigma as a bond and barrier, the provider knowing the patient and getting to know new providers, and recommendations supporting transition. The PPR is integral. Collaborative strategies used to build new relationships will support autonomy, decrease stigma, and facilitate trust.
