Article Synopsis
- A study found that only 18.3% of adults with heart failure in the U.S. received palliative care within five years of diagnosis, despite its benefits.
- Shorter wait times for palliative care were linked to more recent diagnoses, advanced heart failure, and certain medical interventions.
- The research highlights underutilization of palliative care and suggests that factors like race and geography may affect access, indicating a need for further exploration of barriers to service utilization.
