Primary palliative care in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and thematic synthesis of the evidence for models and outcomes
CONCLUSION: Evidence supporting primary palliative care in low- and middle-income countries is limited, and much of the published literature comes from Asia and southern Africa. Health systems in low- and middle-income countries have unique strengths and needs that affect primary palliative care services that should guide how services evolve to meet future need.PMID:38693716 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241248324 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

Symptom burden, service use and care dissatisfaction among older adults with cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, dementia and neurological disease during the last 3  months before death: A pooled analysis of mortality follow-back surveys
CONCLUSIONS: We showed different trajectories towards death depending on cause. Improving symptom burden and satisfaction in patients at the end-of-life is challenging, and the presence of a reliable key health professional may be helpful.PMID:38679837 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241246049 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

'How long do you think?' Unresponsive dying patients in a specialist palliative care service: A consecutive cohort study
CONCLUSION: This study provides valuable new knowledge to support clinicians' confidence when responding to the 'how long' question and can inform decision-making at end-of-life. Further research using the AKPS could provide greater certainty for answering 'how long' questions across the illness trajectory.PMID:38654605 | DOI:10.1177/02692163241238903 (Source: Palliative Medicine)
