This study aims to describe the last year of life of children with CCC, in terms of clinical characteristics, hospital resources and the impact of referral to a hospital-based PPC team (PPCT). Using a retrospective cohort study, we examined the clinical records of children aged 1-18 years of age with CCC who died in a tertiary hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. Hospital resources utilised in the last year of life, therapies and procedures during the final week of life, decision to limit treatment (DLT), referral to the PPCT and place of death were analysed. Seventy-two patients (60% male) with a median age of 10.1 years were included. Most had ≥ 2 CCC (58%) with cancer as the most common diagnosis (47%). The group with ≥ 3 CCC (n = 23) had longer hospital stays (p = 0.041). Of the 17 patients referred to the PPCT, there was a higher frequency of DLT (94% vs. 40% in non-referred, p < 0.001), greater use of subcutaneous route (53% vs. 0%, p < 0.001), lower frequency of blood transfusions (12% vs. 55%, p = 0.002) and a lower proportion of deaths in the Intensive Care Unit (6% vs. 64%, p < 0.001). | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105000 | ISSN: | 1432-1076 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00431-022-04683-6 | Direitos: | embargoedAccess |
