“…Recently, there have been an increasing number of literatures on the transition from pediatric to adult care in North America, Europe, and Japan, mostly in a review basis [4][5][6]13,14,[16][17][18][19]. The most frequent reasons preventing the transition from the pediatric side were that family members were reluctant to move to adult care or that pediatricians were unable to find appropriate facilities for patients with multiple handicaps [5,6,19]. This was one reason why the age of transition in this study was much older than 15-20 years of age.…”
