BMC Palliat Care. 2023 Feb 3;22(1):9. doi: 10.1186/s12904-022-01113-0.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: As primary care populations age, timely identification of palliative care need is becoming increasingly relevant. Previous studies have targeted particular patient populations with life-limiting disease, but few have focused on patients in a primary care setting. Toward this end, we propose a stepped-wedge pragmatic randomized trial whereby a machine learning algorithm identifies patients empaneled to primary care units at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota, United States) with high likelihood of palliative care need.METHODS: 42 care team units in 9 clusters were randomized to 7 wedges, each lasting 42 days. For care teams in…

PLoS One. 2023 Feb 1;18(2):e0273997. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0273997. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Measuring changes in the appropriateness of end-of-life care provided to patients with advanced illness such as cancer, COPD or dementia can help governments and practitioners improve service delivery and quality of life. However, an assessment of a possible shift in appropriateness of end-of-life care across the population is lacking.AIM: Measuring quality indicators with routinely collected population-level data, this study aims to evaluate the appropriateness of end-of-life care for people with cancer, COPD or dementia in Belgium.DESIGN: A population-level decedent cohort study, using data from eight population-level databases, including death certificate and…
