Abstract
- The article presents a systematic review of retrospective observational studies that used health administrative data to examine end-of-life resource utilization and costs in cancer care. The researchers found that retrospective observational studies can help promote evidence-based palliative care practice and policy. They discovered that 15 retrospective observational studies found that 66% of patients did not receive hospice or palliative services in the last month of life.
