End-of-life symptoms and symptom management in older adults with stroke versus cancer
American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Medicine; Hanna Ramsburg, Meredith MacKenzie Greenle, Janice L Hinkle; 6/24
Little is known about the end-of-life (EOL) experience in older adults with stroke or how similar the EOL experience is in older adults with stroke when compared to those with cancer. Older adults with stroke are at risk for inadequate symptom assessment and documentation, as well as poorer symptom management and poorer overall care quality.
