To address markedly elevated risks during and after the transition to adult care, the American Diabetes Association and others have published transition guidelines (7, 16).
This systematic review aims to summarise the validation of all published transition-readiness tools for adolescents (aged 11-19 years) with chronic disease.
Newly infected patients can enter the model at any year, progress through the disease stages based on published transition probabilities [ 22], and exit the model on: spontaneous clearance of HCV; achieving SVR; or death (all-cause or HCV-related).
We used a previously published state-transition Markov model to simulate the natural history of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its potential development into cervical precancer or cancer.
OAPol is a validated, published, state-transition, Monte Carlo model of the natural history and management of knee OA [ 5, 6, 26, 27].
"Retirement has long been seen as an individual -- mainly a male -- passage, but increasingly couples must deal with two retirements," said Dr. Phyllis Moen, a professor of sociology and human development at Cornell University and the lead author of a study on couples' retirement transitions, published in the spring issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

The information tribunal has ruled that the Department of Health should publish its "transition" risk register, on the specific risks arising from NHS restructuring, but not the "strategic" risk register, which covers a range of ongoing risks outside of the government's direct control including the worst-case scenarios of a new pandemic or terrorist attack.
The information commissioner and an information tribunal have ruled that the department should publish the transition risk register on the health bill; minsters have continued to hold back publication, however, saying they need to see the tribunal's explanation of its decision before they consider a further appeal.
The tool also predicts retention time values using a published model, since transition candidates are ranked based on a novel transition scoring system.
