2. Compare and contrast prescribing practices for patients with different admitting diagnoses. Original Research Background. Palliative care for children focuses on holistic care, including the alleviation of physical, psychosocial, and spiritual suffering. Medications are used in hospice patients to palliate physical symptoms of terminal illness, including pain, dyspnea, nausea, and fatigue. Research Objectives. The purpose of this study was to characterize the most commonly prescribed medications and medication classes in a population of pediatric hospice patients. Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of a patient information database compiled by a national hospice organization. The database contained demographic information, as well as information on drug name, dosage, formulation, and strength. We compared proportions of the most commonly prescribed pharmacological classes among the three most common admitting diagnoses: cancer, central nervous system disorders, and genetic disorders.
