    The transition from pediatric to adult care for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) is critical for maintaining health and treatment adherence.

  • 2

    Insufficient transition practices can lead to medical complications, non-compliance, and poorer long-term outcomes for patients with IEI.

  • 3

    A structured, multidisciplinary transition protocol is proposed to enhance care continuity and patient welfare during the transition phase.

  • 4

    Key elements of the framework include early identification of patients, gradual team engagement, and comprehensive documentation of care.

  • 5

    The model aims to bridge pediatric and adult healthcare, addressing the unique needs of IEI patients while recognizing resource limitations.
