Prediction of 90-day mortality risk after unplanned emergency department visits of advanced stage cancer patients

Support Care Cancer. 2024 Oct 16;32(11):732. doi: 10.1007/s00520-024-08919-z.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Cancer represents the leading cause of mortality in high-income countries. In the last years, the rate of emergency department (ED) visits by cancer patients has increased 5.5-fold. These ED visits impose a significant economic burden and may indicate the progression of the oncologic disease. The goal of this retrospective study was to identify patient-derived risk factors, especially focusing on serum albumin and body mass index (BMI) for 90-day mortality following unplanned ED visits by cancer patients.METHODS: A retrospective chart review of all patients with an ICD-10 diagnosis for cancer undergoing palliative treatment…

Palliative care: social and territorial inequalities

Rev Prat. 2024 Sep;74(7):715-720.ABSTRACTSOCIAL AND TERRITORIAL. INEQUALITIES.Palliative care can be provided wherever the patient lives or receives care, considering its environment, in coordination with healthcare professionals, social and medico-social professionals.

One of the main limitations to the development of palliative care, after budgetary issues, is the insufficient development of a professional workforce specializing in palliative care. The overseas territories are in…

National review of end-of-life care withdrawal guidelines for non-invasive advanced respiratory support using document analysis

BMJ Open. 2024 Oct 15;14(10):e089617. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-089617.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: This study aims to understand the breadth of practice around end-of-life withdrawal of non-invasive advanced respiratory support (encompassing both continuous positive airway pressure and non-invasive ventilation) by analysing NHS-published guidelines and guidance for clinicians. This study seeks validity in the guidelines through a confluence of findings and reassurance of practice despite having little to no high-quality research to inform the content of the guidelines. Ultimately, where discordance is found between guidelines, there will be a strong mandate for future research.METHODS: Guidelines were gathered through snowball sampling and analysed using document analysis techniques. Analysis…
