Systematic literature review on the effectiveness and safety of paediatric hospital-at-home care as a substitute for hospital care.

The hospital-at-home (HAH) model allows patients to receive hospital-level care in their homes. This systematic review identified 25 articles (18 interventions) comparing outcomes of pediatric HAH care to standard in-hospital care. Hospital at home was not associated with increased hospital readmissions or adverse events. However, the quality of the studies was low to very low, and additional high-quality research is required.
