Summary
This study aims to analyze the role of the hospital node in the acute event management of pediatric patients referred to Pediatric Palliative Care. Patients eligible for pediatric palliative care experience frequent hospitalizations. In oncology patients, hospitalizations are mainly for the treatment of the disease and the performance of diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures, whereas in the case of non-oncology children, admissions occur particularly for the occurrence of complications, which may affect different organs and systems. Hospitalization times are on average longer, so much so that in some cases they can even exceed 100 consecutive days, and have a high risk of re-hospitalization.
