ABSTRACT
Poor outcomes are reported in young people with chronic health conditions. We performed a retrospective notes review of New Zealand paediatric liver transplant recipients transferred to adult services. Two patients were lost to follow up. Out of 20, 12 were non-adherent, and out of 12, 7 developed rejection. Other risk behaviours were common in the non-adherent group. We conclude that dedicated services for these young people may be needed to optimise outcomes.
