Tiivistelmä
<p>BACKGROUND: Integration of palliative care has been shown to be beneficial and is therefore recommended. However, the specific methods for arranging such care remain unclear. Systematic referral and regular visits with a multi-professional palliative care team have appeared most beneficial. This study aimed to study how integrated palliative care is currently carried out in relation to which patients are referred to an integrated visit and what occurs during the visit, along with lifespan after the first integrated visit.</p><p>METHODS: A retrospective chart review of all patients with an incurable cancer receiving integrated palliative care with ongoing oncologic therapy, who were treated in Tampere University Hospital, Finland, between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2021.</p><p>RESULTS: Altogether 207 patients were referred to an integrated palliative care visit, which covers 4% of the incurable cancer patients in the department of oncology at the same time. The most common reasons for referral were symptom burden and limited anti-cancer treatment possibilities. The need for advance care planning was seldom identified. During the first year after the integrated visit, 99 (48%) patients died. Approximately one-third of the patients received anti-cancer treatment in the last month of their life.</p><p>CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of the study, the need for palliative care might be unmet, since so few patients are referred to integrated palliative care visits. Emphasis should be placed on identification of palliative care needs and advance care planning. The follow-up models of outpatient clinics should be examined and developed to better meet the needs of the patients.</p>
