Development and results of perinatal palliative care program: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeFrom September 2014 to April 2016, the project "Let me be" was carried out by Gajusz Foundation. We aimed to inform clinical practice by describing a model of perinatal palliative care and to determine who is referred for care, what happens after referral and delivery, pregnancy outcomes, and referral rates.
methodsA retrospective analysis of the medical records of 72 families who qualified for perinatal palliative care; data on other project activities were also presented.
resultsThe most important project outcome was the development of a perinatal palliative care model in which perinatal hospice functioned outside the hospital structure. During the project, 20 training sessions for 126 healthcare workers were organized, guidebooks were prepared for the medical staff and parents, and 2 films were produced. Seventy-two women were enrolled in the perinatal palliative care program. Approximately 4.9-24.2% of eligible families entered the perinatal palliative care program. Trisomies 18,13,21 were diagnosed in 33% of the cases; 47 live births and 21 stillbirths were observed. Four families decided to terminate the pregnancy; 26 children died on the first day of life, and 10 died within the first week of life.
conclusionParents who were referred for perinatal palliative care received multidisciplinary support. We observed an increase in the percentage of referrals over 7 years, but the incomplete application of the program remains problematic. Systemic changes in postgraduate training and subsequent legislative changes should also be considered. Our research confirms the characteristics of diagnosis, referrals, and outcomes observed in other studies. WHAT IS KNOWN: • The perinatal palliative care (PPC) programs may be comprehensive, initiated early, and integrative. • Most publications talk about hospital based care. WHAT IS NEW: • In our model, the perinatal hospice functioning outside the hospital structure takes over the role of the care coordinator and offers a multidisciplinary support for parents. • Due to the insufficient application to the PPC program the systemic changes in the training of obstetricians and legislative changes which would oblige the physician diagnosing a lethal abnormality to inform and refer the woman to PPC should be considered.
