Palliative Care for Older Adults Hospitalized for Stroke From Family Caregivers' Perspectives: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The high care demand for patients with stroke is a defining feature of stroke PC and should be recognized in addition to its prognosis estimation to promote this concept. The healthcare system should integrate PC as part of the regular service for patients with severe stroke to shift the focus of care from survival to promotion of comfort. A discussion of the dying process requires sensitivity and should be approached in a discussion of advanced PC planning, which views death as a meaningful transition.PMID:35467569 | DOI:10.1097/JCN.0000000000000923

End-of-Life Symptoms in Adult Patients With Stroke in the Last Two Years of Life: An Integrative Review

The lack of documentation of preferences in a cohort of adults who died after ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Documented discussions about limitations on life-sustaining interventions during hospitalization were low, even though this cohort died within 30 days poststroke. Improving the documentation of preferences may be difficult given the 2015 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 30-day stroke mortality hospital performance measure that is unadjusted for patient preferences regarding life-sustaining interventions.

Increase in Rate of Utilization of Withdrawal of Care in Acute Ischemic Stroke in USA (P1.209)
Conclusions:We found a considerable increase in rate of withdrawal of care with aggressive treatment, which may be due to disease severity and/or patient/family preference. Prognostic models and clinical experience for severe stroke patients may be biased by frequent withdrawal of care, leading to errors in prognostication with significant consequences including premature withdrawal of care, suboptimal outcomes and higher risk of short-term mortalityStudy Supported by: NADisclosure: Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.
