Abstract | This article sets out to describe the characteristics of patients at a second-level hospital who are likely to receive pedi-atric palliative care (PPC), the frequency of visits to the emergency room, admissions and technological devices used. A retrospective study was carried out of the patients who received care from the start of the PPC program (January 2017 to January 2020) at a secondary-level hospital. Twenty-nine patients were included, 58.6% male with mean age at entry into the study of 2.3 years (SD: 2.4); 44.8% of them were from rural areas. The prevalence of multimorbidity was 41%, with a higher frequency of neurological patholo-gy. Respiratory infection was the most frequent cause of emergency care (n = 360) and hospitalization (n=145). Half of patients (51.7%) depended on medical devices. Better knowledge of the resources used by this population can lead to more effective distribution/management that in turn can enable PPC to be offered regardless of the place of residence. |
