| Abstract |
Advances in the care of children mean that adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are surviving to adulthood and requiring transition to adult care. The transition phase is well-recognised to be associated with considerable excess morbidity and graft loss, but these outcomes may be avoidable through a structured transition programme. This review will discuss the (1) challenges encountered by patients with CKD, caregivers and clinicians during transition; (2) predictors and outcomes of transition; (3) current guidelines on transition from paediatric to adult renal services; (4) interventions and research directions that may help to improve the care and outcomes for young people with CKD in transition. In spite of the substantial improvement in health gains required for this disadvantaged population, there is to date only limited evidence on the effects of current transition programmes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 May 2018.
All research outputs
#4,783,303
of 23,327,904 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#788
of 3,620 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#81,950
of 313,233 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#22
of 97 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,327,904 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,620 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,233 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 97 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
