- aggregation abstract "Aim: Guidelines on pediatric palliative care underline that care at the end of life of chronically ill children should preferably be provided in the child’s home situation. Till present, no European data at population level are available for place of death of children. The aim of this study was to compare proportions of home death for children in six European countries and investigate relation between place of death and sociodemographic and clinical factors. Method: Data were collected from death certificates of all deceased children aged 1-17 in Belgium (BE), the Netherlands (NL), Norway (NO), England (E), Wales (W) (2003) and Italy (IT) (2002). Gender, cause (cancer, natural non-cancer and external) and place of death (home vs. outside home) and sociodemographic factors (socio-economic status (SES), degree of urbanization and number of hospital beds in the area) were included in the analyses. Data were analyzed using frequencies and multivariate logistic regression. Results: A total of 3.187 deaths were included in the analyses, 534 (16,8%) died from cancer. The proportion of home deaths was 19,6% (IT), 20,5% (E), 20,6% (W), 21,0% (NO), 23,8% (BE) and 28,6% (NL). Home death was more likely for children dying from cancer in BE, NL, E and W, for children with high SES in BE, in areas with low number of hospital beds in IT, and for boys in NL. Conclusion: The proportion of home deaths for children differs between studied countries. In most, but not all, countries children dying from cancer had better odds of dying at home than those not dying from cancer. Although acknowledging the influence of culture in the differences, studying care provisions in countries with higher proportions of home deaths, particularly in chronically ill children, can be helpful to identify factors facilitating terminally ill children to die at home. Early involvement of palliative care and equal access to these services can be important in this context. Funding: IWT-Flanders.".
