Palliative Care Utilization Following Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Pediatrics.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesPediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Pediatric palliative care (PPC) services could provide an integral component of the comprehensive care necessary for these patients and their families. The main objectives of this study are to examine the utilization of PPC following OHCA and compare the differences in characteristics between children who received PPC with those who did not.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingAn urban, tertiary PICU. PATIENTS: Children less than 21 years old admitted from October 2009 to October 2019 with an admitting diagnosis of OHCA and minimum PICU length of stay (LOS) of 48 hours.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsOf the 283 patient charts reviewed, 118 patient encounters met inclusion criteria. Of those, 34 patients (28.8%) received a PPC consultation during hospitalization. Patients who received PPC had a longer PICU LOS (14.5 vs 4.0 d), a greater number of ventilator days (12.5 vs 4.0 d), and a larger proportion of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) statuses (41% vs 19%). When comparing the disposition of survivors, a greater proportion was discharged to rehab or nursing facilities (47% vs 28%), with no difference in mortality rates (53% vs 50%). In the multivariate logistic regression model, older age, longer LOS, and code status (DNR) were all associated with higher likelihood of PPC utilization. Data were analyzed using descriptive, Mann-Whitney
conclusionsOur study demonstrates PPC services following OHCA are underutilized given the high degree of morbidity and mortality. The impact of automatic PPC consultation in all OHCA patients who survive beyond 48 hours should be explored further. Future studies are warranted to understand the benefits and barriers of PPC integration into standard postarrest care for patients and families.
