Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Palliative care has received considerable attention in Taiwan in recent years. The relevant research has been widely conducted for palliative care in adult population. However, the research in children population is relatively insufficient. In the limited studies, most of them are the experiences generated from individual institutions. This study is going to retrieve the data from 2008-2017 National Health Insurance Research Database, Cancer Registry Database, Death Registry Database and other relevant materials in order to analyze the trends of using pediatric palliative care service, the types of services, the timing of initiating palliative care, and the preference of using palliative care service among different life span in the past decade. In addition, the study will examine the differences of the timing of initiating of pediatric palliative care service and the types of diseases among different characteristics of children and healthcare providers. And the study will discuss how pediatric palliative care services affect medical costs.
