Objectives: * Describe a prospective study to evaluate how parents of children with advanced heart disease (AHD) perceive communication about prognosis with their child's physicians. * Describe results from this analysis that found no correlation between length of stay of a child with advanced heart disease and parent reports of conflicting information from physicians. Original Research Background and Objectives: Communication between parents and physicians is essential to high-quality care. For families of patients with AHD, understanding prognosis is critical to decision making and is associated with less perceived suffering at end of life. This is the first study to prospectively evaluate how parents of children with AHD perceive prognostic communication with their child's physicians.
