  • Exploration of multidisciplinary team approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • Non-malignant conditions represent a significant proportion of pediatric palliative care needs.
    • Home care is a viable and desired option for many families.
    • Integrated care models are essential for managing complex pediatric conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric palliative care requires a holistic approach, integrating curative and comfort measures.
    • Addressing the specific needs of children necessitates collaboration between pediatric and palliative care specialists.
    • Empowering families with realistic home care options enhances quality of life for children with serious illnesses.
