Description
An account of the resource
Purpose of study Care for children with cardiac disease often involves difficult decisions and clinical uncertainty. Genomic Sequencing (GS) promises to improve clinical prognostics and could impact how difficult decisions are made. We sought to determine how GS results might alter family attitudes towards bedside care choices. Methods used We conducted semi-structured interviews of 35 families at a high-volume pediatric heart center. We discussed previous experience with and understanding of GS, perceptions toward GS in real and hypothetical scenarios, and support needed for implementing GS in clinical care. Responses were analyzed using grounded theory and a codebook was developed. Researchers discussed interpretation of codes and identified and described emerging themes. Interrater reliability was 0.91. Summary of results Three themes emerged: 1) Is knowledge beneficial? Families saw benefits in GS-the ability to provide specific and/or earlier diagnoses, clarify prognosis, change family planning, and avoid unnecessary/additional testing-but also struggled with the sense that GS results did not translate into meaningful changes in clinical care. 2) Should GS guide life limiting decisions and resource allocation? Some parents felt using GS to justify withdrawal of care or allocation of scarce resources (like organs for transplantation) could represent genetic discrimination; other parents felt GS should be used when allocating resources, even if it meant limitation of treatment options for their child. 3) Is giving GS results to the healthcare system safe? All families indicated mistrust of at least one facet of the medical system including insurance companies, maintenance of confidentiality, and the incentive structure in healthcare. Some also expressed distrust of direct to consumer GS testing. Conclusions In families of children with cardiac disease, trust is lacking in perceptions of the clinical utility of GS results, in using GS results to inform difficult decisions and in clinical protections for privacy or handling of GS results. Further efforts to improve the trustworthiness of clinical GS are needed to engage family support in implementation of GS to clinical care.

Description
An account of the resource
The death of a child is a traumatic stressor that takes a toll on the health of parents. This study examined long-term impacts of the death of a child on the risk of early mortality in bereaved parents. In a follow-up analysis, a twin subsample was analyzed to examine potential genetic confounding. We analyzed data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study. The primary sample consists of two groups of MIDUS 2 participants (2004–06); (1) parents who experienced the death of a child prior to MIDUS 2 (n = 451) and (2) comparison parents who had not experienced death of any children (n = 1804) (mean age = 63). We also analyzed 52 twin pairs in which one twin experienced the death of a child and 271 twin pairs in which both twins had all living children. Mortality status of parents was assessed in 2017. Parents who had experienced the death of a child had a 32% higher likelihood of early mortality (defined as dying earlier than life expectancy) than their peers who did not have any deceased children, and they were more likely to die of heart disease. Analyses of the twin subsample revealed significantly lower concordance for early mortality among the pairs with a bereaved twin than among control twins, consistent with non-genetic effects. The findings suggest that the death of a child has lasting impacts on the risk of early mortality in bereaved parents. This study provides the first U.S. estimate of bereavement effects on mortality extending through the parents' full life course, with significant public health implications. In addition, analysis of concordance of early death rates in the twin subsample suggests the impact on mortality of parental bereavement, net of genetic factors. • 32% higher rate of mortality in bereaved parents than non-bereaved parents. • Parental mortality effect confirmed in twin sample. • Highest death rates from heart disease in bereaved parents.
