- Authors
Steiman, Amanda; Touma, Zahi
- Abstract
The authors discuss research published within the issue which described patterns of rheumatologic/nephrologic care and changes in medical care use and medication adherence among patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during their transfer from pediatric to adult care. Topics include the unique challenges associated with care of these patients, measures to collectively catalyze the timely and easy transition of such patients, and need to identify experts in the field.
