Cover Story: Pediatric palliative care aims to improve children's quality of life, but this outcome is rarely measured in clinical care. In Belgium, pediatric palliative care is provided through six transmural mobile liaison teams, ensuring continuity of care. This study aims to measure the quality of life of children with life-limiting conditions followed up by liaison teams and the quality of life of their parents. Seventy-three children aged 1–18 were included in this national cross-sectional study. Especially for items focusing on emotional topics, children reported their quality of life as higher than their parents did. The quality-of-life scores were not significantly associated with the child's condition's severity. This study provides, for the first time, an overview of the quality of life of children and parents followed up by specialized pediatric palliative care teams in Belgium. View this paper
