Background: Although pediatric cancer is rare, it is the leading cause of death by disease after infancy for children and adolescents in the United States. Children exist in the context of a family; hence, excellent care for a child must also include attention to the needs of the family. Palliative care aims to enhance quality-of-life for these children living with life threatening illnesses and their families. Among pediatric cancers, brain tumors have high disease-related mortality rates; therefore, early introduction of palliative care to these patients is critical. This study aims to evaluate the association of palliative care during the terminal admissions of pediatric neuro-oncology patients and intensity of care provided at the end of life. Methods: Pediatric patients with brain tumors were identified using the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS). Inclusion criteria were age <18, diagnosis of brain tumor as defined by ICD-10 codes, discharged as deceased, and hospital admission between 1/1/2017 and 12/31/2021. Intensity of care measures included: pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Results: 567 patients met the inclusion criteria. 359/567 (63%) patients had an inpatient palliative care consultation during their terminal hospital stay. Patients receiving a palliative care consultation had a lower percentage of PICU admission (64.9 vs 83.2, p=<0.001), mechanical ventilation use (51.0 vs 76.0, p=<0.001), and TPN use (18.1 vs 25.5, p=0.027). There were no significant differences in length of stay (22.07 vs 22.25 days, p=0.181) and ECMO use (0.28% vs 1.92%, p=0.450). Conclusions: Pediatric patients receiving palliative care consultations during their terminal admission received less intense care while having comparable lengths of stay. Palliative care should be offered to all families, even with aggressive goals, to help incorporate quality of life and comfort in the treatment plan and to ensure bereavement support is available if needed. Similar to data in the adult palliative care literature, this data demonstrates reduced resource utilization among pediatric patients receiving palliative care. Palliative care has been shown to be a supportive service that has the potential to improve the quality of life of patients. The first step toward equitable healthcare is to ensure that all children with a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis have access to full supportive services, including palliative care.
