What the experts said
Patients with anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung's disease need transfer from pediatric to adult providers to manage their colorectal conditions
A team from Melbourne, Australia performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on transition of care for these conditions
Eight studies were found on the topic of transition care for anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung's disease
Studies agreed that transitional care should start early in adolescence
Little evidence exists that transfer from pediatric to adult care is happening in a coordinated or timely fashion
No models of transition care were identified in the systematic review
More work is needed to ensure children with anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung's disease continue to receive optimal care as they grow older
