BMC Palliat Care. 2022 Feb 4;21(1):18. doi: 10.1186/s12904-021-00897-x.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: A casemix classification based on patients’ needs can serve to better describe the patient group in palliative care and thus help to develop adequate future care structures and enable national benchmarking and quality control. However, in Germany, there is no such an evidence-based system to differentiate the complexity of patients’ needs in palliative care. Therefore, the study aims to develop a patient-oriented, nationally applicable complexity and casemix classification for adult palliative care patients in Germany.METHODS: COMPANION is a mixed-methods study with data derived from three subprojects. Subproject 1: Prospective, cross-sectional multi-centre study…

Wounds. 2022 Jan;34(1):E7-E9. doi: 10.25270/wnds/2022.e79.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most prevalent malignant skin carcinoma. Bone infiltration is uncommon, and invasion of the dura mater and brain parenchyma is rare and possible only in the advanced stages of the disease. Treatment of advanced SCC is challenging and often requires the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team to provide local and systemic treatment. Management of advanced SCC of the scalp involving bones and meninges with brain exposure was described herein.CASE REPORT: An 85-year-old male presented with advanced SCC of the scalp. A vegetative and infiltrating neoplastic ulcer of the frontal…

BMC Palliat Care. 2022 Feb 4;21(1):17. doi: 10.1186/s12904-022-00904-9.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Pain, breathlessness and fatigue are some of the most challenging symptoms to manage in patients with advanced disease. Specialist palliative care leads to better symptom management, but factors contributing to successful symptom management in this context have not been explored. Our aim was to understand what facilitates effective symptom management in specialist palliative care within UK hospices and investigate what barriers are experienced.METHODS: This was a grounded theory study using qualitative semi-structured focus groups and interviews. Participants were recruited from multidisciplinary specialist palliative care teams (doctors, nurses, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists,…
