More time in a community setting: A service evaluation of the impact of intrathecal drug delivery systems on place of care of patients with cancer pain
CONCLUSION: In patients with advanced cancer, the successful establishment of intrathecal analgesia is associated with more time in the community and a lower morphine equivalent daily dose at end of life. The study has low numbers, and the sample was retrospectively selected. Nevertheless, these findings suggest the initial investment of time in an inpatient setting may be beneficial. Further research is required, using larger, prospective studies of patient outcomes in this setting.PMID:37632373 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231191548 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

Unrepresented, unheard and discriminated against: A qualitative exploration of relatives' and professionals' views of palliative care experiences of people of African and Caribbean descent during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: Person-centred, culturally-competent palliative care is not the norm for people of African and Caribbean descent. Expectations of inequitable care are widespread. Sustained action on multiple fronts is needed.PMID:37609831 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231188156 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

A grounded theory study exploring palliative care healthcare professionals' experiences of managing digital legacy as part of advance care planning for people receiving palliative care
CONCLUSIONS: The emerging theory 'understanding the impact of digital legacy' offers insight into the knowledge and experiences of healthcare professionals working in a palliative care setting. Digital assets were viewed as being equally as important as physical assets and should be considered as part of advance care planning conversations.PMID:37609897 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231194198 (Source: Palliative Medicine)

What outcomes do studies use to measure the impact of prognostication on people with advanced cancer? Findings from a systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies
CONCLUSION: Outcome reporting and measurement varied markedly across the studies. A standardised approach to outcome reporting in studies of prognosis is necessary to enhance data synthesis, improve clinical practice and better align with stakeholders' priorities.PMID:37586031 | DOI:10.1177/02692163231191148 (Source: Palliative Medicine)
