Mashup Score: 6
Aggressive end-of-life (EOL) care that is not aligned with the preferences of persons with cancer has negative impacts on their quality of life. Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) could potentially complicate EOL care planning among persons with cancer. Little is known about the aggressive EOL care patterns among Medicare beneficiaries with both cancer and ADRD.

Mashup Score: 4The effect of age on specialized palliative care use in the last year of life for patients who die of cancer: A nationwide study from Norway - 3 year(s) ago
Specialized palliative care (SPC) is beneficial towards end of life because of its holistic approach to improve quality of life and comfort of patients and their families.

This study aimed to evaluate the use of SPC in the year…
