Racial Differences in Hospice Care Outcomes In Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

There remains a paucity of investigational data about disparities in hospice services in people with non-cancer diagnoses, specifically in heart failure (HF). Black patients with advanced HF have been disproportionally affected by health care services inequities but their outcomes after hospice enrollment are not well studied. We aimed to describe race-specific outcomes in patients with advanced HF who were enrolled in hospice services. We obtained the data from PubMed, Scopus, and Embase for all investigations published until January 11, 2023 All studies that reported race-specific outcomes after hospice enrollment in patients with advanced HF were included.
