Initiating Pediatric Palliative Care in ACT Group 4

StartSPP
Start date: February 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Due to the wide range of diagnoses encountered in pediatric palliative care, the Association for Children's Palliative Care (ACT) and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) have developed a classification of life-limiting illnesses, based on support models. This classification includes four groups. ACT 4 category is made up of children with a serious incurable non-progressive neurological disease (for example: anoxic ischemia, cerebral palsy, traumatic or infectious brain injuries). Although data relating to specific ACT groups are scarce, experience from clinical practice suggests that the needs and use of Pediatric palliative care resources are different across the four categories. The specific history of ACT-4 patients suggests that pediatric palliative care may be required early on in the history of the disease but effective intervention varies greatly from one patient to another. Tthis study aims to better understand the optimal timing for introducing a PPC team into the care pathway for these children. The study also aims to describe the care trajectory over the first year of PPC intervention.
