Abstract BACKGROUND The gift of post-mortem tissue donation is a critical resource in the discovery and interrogation of pathobiological mechanisms of pediatric brain tumors. Broad generalizability of research findings requires a representative population to participate in pre-clinical studies. As a “Center of Excellence” within the Gift from a Child initiative, our institution has a well-established post-mortem tissue donation program funded by the Swifty Foundation. Our primary objective was to determine if clinical and socioeconomic differences exist between patients that participated in and those that declined research-based autopsy. METHODS We performed a single-institution retrospective chart review of pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) malignancies who died from their disease between 1/1/2021 and 12/31/2022. Individual clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic data were assessed. Population-level data were estimated using Zip Code Tabulation Areas. Descriptive statistics were used to compare categorical data. RESULTS Among 26 patients who died secondary to disease in the study timeframe, 23 (88%) were approached and 8/23 (35%) consented to participation. In the consented group (C) vs. declined group (D), there was a higher percentage of White, Non-Hispanic/Latino patients by self-reported race (C: 88% vs. D: 55%) and no patients who identified as Asian or Hispanic/Latino (C: 0% & 0% vs. D: 13% & 27%). Of all patients approached, 2 required interpreters (9%) and both families declined participation. The rate of private insurance was higher in the consented group (C: 75% vs D: 47%) compared to Medicaid as primary insurance in the declined group (C: 13% vs D: 53%). CONCLUSIONS Patients from racial and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in tissue donation programs. Future research should aim to understand and improve identified disparities to ensure advancements benefit all children with CNS malignancies. One area we plan to address is improved communication with non-English speaking families by educating interpreter services prior to discussion.
