Factors associated with a gap of >6 months in care between pediatric and adult providers

Total Gap in care >6 months OR
N (%) n (%) (95% CI)a

aORs were calculated from a logistic regression model including the factors of interest (number of visits to pediatric provider during the 12 months before transition and participant-reported preparedness to transition), adjusting for race/ethnicity, insurance status, and occurrence of one or more major life changes in the past year.

bPrepared to transition was assigned for participants reporting they were mostly or completely prepared to leave their pediatric provider. Not prepared to transition was assigned for participants reporting they were completely/mostly unprepared or neutral.
