description More children are living with serious illness. However, survival and complexity of illnesses have not been described. To describe types of illnesses, timing of referral, and time to death following referral to palliative care; to examine the associations between demographics and clinical characteristics and patient survival; and to examine whether average daily pain decreases after referral. Retrospective chart review of all children ages 2-16 years referred to palliative care at one large children's hospital during the five-year study period from January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2013. The primary outcome was patient survival and the main independent predictor was type of illness. Kaplan-Meier estimation was used to estimate patient survival time following referral, Cox proportional hazards regression was used to build predictive models based on gender, age, race, religion, and types of illnesses, and paired t-test compared the assessment of pain before and after referral. The cohort consisted of 256 children. Survival experience did not differ significantly based on gender, age, race, or religion (p ≥ 0.05); however, survival did vary based on referring diagnosis (χ  = 40.3, df = 4, p
