Background: Measuring palliative care quality requires the application of evaluation methods to compare clinically meaningful groups of patients across different settings. Such protocols are currently lacking in Poland. The Australian Palliative Care Outcome Collaboration (PCOC) concept of Palliative phases precisely defines patients, enables episodes of care extraction for benchmarking and further assessment of service delivery.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the social factors of patients and caregivers, including those related to their wishes for home-based end-of-life care that influence its fulfillment.
Methods: A secondary analysis was conducted using the dataset (home-based end-of-life care N = 625, hospital end-of-life care N = 7603) Comprehensive patient-based survey conducted by The Study on Quality Evaluation of Hospice and Palliative Care by Bereaved Caregivers (J-HOPE 4) and multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) to explore the impact of social factors of patients and caregivers on the fulfillment of home-based end-of-life care.

Comparison Between Single- and Multi-slice Computed Tomography Body Composition Analysis in Patients With Oesophagogastric Cancer.

Clinical Surgery, University of Edinburgh, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of single-slice versus multi-slice computed tomography (CT) methods in analyzing body composition in patients with oesophagogastric cancer, focusing on their correlation and impact on survival rates.
- Researchers examined CT scans of 504 patients, comparing measurements of skeletal muscle, subcutaneous, visceral, and intermuscular adipose tissue, finding high correlation and narrow limits of agreement between the two methods.
- Results indicate that both measurement techniques offer similar insights into body composition, suggesting that the clinical use of multi-slice analyses may be beneficial but requires further exploration for optimal application.
