Objective:To describe the rates and temporal trends of inpatient end-of-life care among patients hospitalized with metastatic cancer in the United States.Methods:We used data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of unplanned inpatient hospitalizations of patients aged 18 years or older with metastatic cancer from 2002 to 2011.Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess patient-and hospital-level predictors of discharge to hospice care,palliative care,and in-hospital mortality.Temporal trends in outcomes were characterized with use of joinpoint regression.Results:There were an estimated 350,241 unplanned hospitalizations per year of patients with a diagnosis of metastatic cancer.During their inpatient stay,5.8%of patients received palliative care,and among those discharged alive,12.2%were referred to hospice care.The rate of inpatient palliative care increased from 2.3%to 13.6%,the rate of discharge to hospice care increased from 4.1%to 15.6%,and the in-hospital mortality rate decreased from more than 14.0%to 9.8%.These patterns were consistent across cancer subtypes,and were most pronounced among patients with extreme risk of mortality.Conclusion:Despite increases in the provision of comfort-oriented care to patients with meta-static cancer,few receive such services.We recommend screening protocols in hospitals to identify patients who are good candidates for palliative care consultation and hospice referral. 展开更多
