“…In addition, the autopsy rate for this population was quite high at 78%. This compares with autopsy rates ranging from 20% to 36% in the general pediatric population 5–7 . The location of death and the high autopsy rates in our population suggests that many of the deaths were unexpected and acute events.…”

“…There is potential for error to occur in determining the underlying cause of death as well as appropriate ICD coding. There are a wide array of health care professionals with unknown standardization who make the determination of underlying cause of death 5 . For the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, there are two nosologists who are principally responsible for coding all deaths.…”

They enter death certificate data onto a computer, and a computer program then assigns an ICD code for the cause of death.…”

“…2,8,[11][12][13][14] It has been suggested that all fellowship programs should have a basic curriculum to ensure that fellows are provided with a basic level of palliative care knowledge and experience. 15 Although most pediatric patients die in the NICU, the pediatric intensive care unit, or on a pediatric oncology ward, 16,17 there is currently no published data nor formal curricula available regarding palliative care and end-of-life training for fellows in these disciplines.…”

Death in tertiary care neonatal intensive care units is a common occurrence. Despite recent advances in pediatric palliative education, evidence indicates that physicians are poorly prepared to care for dying infants and their families. Numerous organizations recommend increased training in palliative and end-of-life care for pediatric physicians. The purpose of this study is to develop a structured end-of-life curriculum for neonatal-perinatal postdoctoral fellows based on previously established principles and curricular guidelines on end-of-life care in the pediatric setting. Results demonstrate statistically significant curriculum effectiveness in increasing fellow knowledge regarding patient qualification for comfort care and withdrawal of support (P = .03). Although not statistically significant, results suggest the curriculum may have improved fellows' knowledge of appropriate end-of-life medical management, comfort with addressing the family, and patient pain assessment and control.

BACKGROUND:Death pronouncement comes infrequently for the pediatrician. The place of death for most children is in the hospital. For hospitalists and pediatric intensivists in the neonatal intensive care or pediatric intensive care units, death pronouncement is not uncommon. For hospitalist physicians, the call to attend a code or to pronounce a death may come on any given shift and from almost anywhere in the hospital.CONCLUSION:A demonstrative case is provided, followed by key concepts for practice and for educating trainees.
