IntroductionSurvival of children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer improved over the last decades due to better diagnostics, treatment, and supportive care. Quality criteria that measure, compare, and make the quality of care of individual pediatric oncology centers more transparent are heterogeneous and inconsistent.AimWith this systematic review, we aimed to summarize existing quality criteria for pediatric oncology centers in countries with highly developed health‐care systems.MethodsWe searched three databases for publications, and websites for guidelines about quality criteria for pediatric oncology centers in February 2022. We considered all types of publications except expert opinions. We excluded publications not focusing on highly developed health‐care systems, addressing the certification of professionals, or focusing on subspecialties (e.g., pediatric neuro‐oncology). We discarded quality criteria if they were too specific (e.g., for a specific treatment center), too broad (e.g., national 5‐year overall survival), or if the aspect was covered by standardized clinical procedures or at the national level. We grouped the identified criteria thematically.ResultsWe identified 18 publications and guideline documents with 530 criteria, of which 201 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The combination of similar criteria resulted in 90 overarching criteria, which we assigned to the following categories: facilities and networks, multidisciplinary team and other experts, supportive care, treatment, long‐term care, and volume and numbers.ConclusionOur results provide a comprehensive overview of existing quality criteria for pediatric oncology in countries with highly developed health‐care systems. These criteria can serve as a basis to develop national quality criteria in pediatric oncology.

Zusammenfassung Die Gesellschaft für Pädiatrische Onkologie und Hämatologie (GPOH) und die Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft (DKG) haben Kriterien für die DKG-Zertifizierung der Kinderonkologie erarbeitet, nach denen 2017 in Deutschland erstmals pädiatrisch-onkologische Abteilungen zertifiziert wurden. Das Ziel der DKG-Zertifizierung ist „die Vereinheitlichung und die transparente Darstellung der Versorgungsqualität für pädiatrische Patientinnen und Patienten mit hämato-onkologischen Erkrankungen“, wie 2018 in einer Veröffentlichung von Mensah et al. dargestellt. Die Auswahl der Zertifizierungskriterien hat innerhalb der GPOH zu einer intensiven Diskussion darüber geführt, inwieweit die Kriterien für sich genommen einer wissenschaftlichen Überprüfbarkeit standhalten und damit valide Parameter für die Bestimmung der Versorgungsqualität in der Kinderonkologie in Deutschland darstellen. Wir haben untersucht, ob aus der Arbeit von Mensah et al. valide Folgerungen für das deutsche Gesundheitssystem ableitbar sind. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die momentan definierten DKG-Zertifizierungskriterien für die Kinderonkologie in Deutschland in kritischen Bereichen einer fundierten wissenschaftlichen Grundlage entbehren. Diese Arbeit stellt Fallzahlen als Maß für Qualität in der Kinderonkologie infrage und regt die Entwicklung alternativer Kriterien für die Überprüfbarkeit von Qualität in der deutschen Kinderonkologie an.
