COVID-19 in pediatric palliative care patients: Multicenter, retrospective cohort study

CONCLUSION: In the study population initial presentation of COVID-19 was predominantly a mild; however, the small sample size precluded definitive conclusions. For children under palliative care, we should identify if they have an advance care plan for COVID-19, such as desires for intensive care support. Further studies are needed to define the short and long-term effects of COVID-19 in children with life-limiting conditions.PMID:37937380 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231206928
