Caregiver Burden Correlates With Complexity of Drug Regimen in Non-oncological Palliative Medicine

Conclusions: The caregiver's burden is high for nononcological patients. The complexity of the treatment plan (number of drugs and frequency of administration) is significantly correlated with the care burden. Further studies are needed to understand which interventions targeted on family caregivers will minimize the burden of care.
