    The study developed and validated a Transition Success Score (TSS) to assess transitional care effectiveness for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

  • 2

    The TSS was based on the Top 10 outcome items identified through an international Delphi study involving IBD stakeholders.

  • 3

    In a multicenter study, 160 patients scored the TSS, with a mean score of 25 and 25.6% achieving the maximum score.

  • 4

    Significant associations were found between TSS scores and characteristics related to transitional care, such as knowledge and independence.

  • 5

    The TSS serves as a quantitative tool to evaluate transitional care interventions and identify IBD patients at risk during the transition to adult healthcare.
