The article presents research assessing guidelines for donation after cardiac death (DCD) policies in children's hospitals. The deign and setting of the mixed-method analysis of policies collected between November 2007 and January 2008 from hospitals in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada associated with the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions is provided. The outcomes measured include status of DCD policy development and content of policies based on coding categories developed from authoritative statements. Results suggested that most children's hospitals have or are developing DCD policies with considerable variation in policy content.
