Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the relationship between clinical/demographic features and the intensity of treatments pediatric patients receive at the end of life (EOL), aiming to create a new classification system for these EOL trajectories.
- - Conducted at a children's hospital from 2013 to 2021, the research included 1,111 patients aged 0-26, revealing that 85.7% died in-hospital, predominantly within ICUs.
- - The analysis identified five key EOL trajectories, showing that certain patient characteristics, like recent surgeries or organ transplants, correlated with more aggressive treatments compared to those who had palliative care or were older.
