Medical Transitions – Long Term Outcomes

A video survey, by Paul Dirks, of all the long-term outcome studies on medical transition over 10 years.

Error: near the end of the video I state that in Adams, 2017 the “past year” measure was for treated individuals. This is not necessarily the case and would have included those untreated.

Three empirically defensible generalizations:
1] The long-term studies show vastly worse outcomes than the short-term studies
2] The studies with more objective measures show worse outcomes than those with more subjective measures
3] The studies with little or no loss-to-follow-up show significantly worse outcomes than those with greater loss-to-follow-up.
