Abstract
Background: An essential aspect of end-of-life care for pediatric patients is honoring their preferred place
of death (PPoD). The Danish Health Authority established five regional Pediatric Palliative Care Teams
(PPCTs) between 2015 and 2017 to better treat children needing specialized palliative care. This study
examines the effect of PPCTs on the alignment between PPoD and the actual place of death.
Aims: i) Is there a better accordance with the preferred and the actual place of death now than before
the implementation of PPCT?
ii) What is their PPoD?
iii) Do more children die at home after the implementation of PPCT?
iv) How do different factors influence the PPoD?
Methods: Demographic data, diagnosis details, and information regarding death were collected for 88
pediatric patients diagnosed with malignant diseases from 2002 to the end of 2023. A comparative
analysis was conducted for periods before and after the implementation of PPCTs. Statistical tests,
including logistic regression, were used t
