Epidemiology of Inpatient Paediatric Mortalities From 2011 to 2020: A Retrospective Review

Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate the epidemiology of pediatric mortalities in inpatient settings over a decade.
Conducted a retrospective review of inpatient mortality data from 2011 to 2020
Focused on pediatric patients in the PICU
Analyzed the relationship between care escalation, palliative care, and ACP usage.
Most pediatric mortalities occurred in the PICU
Deaths primarily resulted from non-escalation of care
Few patients received palliative care or had advance care planning (ACP) in place.

Resumen

Most hospitalised children died in the PICU following non-escalation of care without palliative care or ACP use. Future research is needed to identify the barriers and facilitators to their use.
