Overview

Systematic review compares outcomes of early and late pediatric palliative care in oncology, highlighting disparities and implementation challenges.

Key Points

  • Early pediatric palliative care significantly reduces end-of-life care intensity compared to late or no care.
  • Findings indicate disparities in access, with minority groups less likely to receive early pediatric palliative care.
  • The review synthesizes evidence from diverse studies, emphasizing the need for standardized palliative care protocols.
  • Outcomes suggest optimism for early palliative care in improving family quality of life and symptom management.
