Developing Core Outcomes for Prognostic Research in Palliative Care

与用于评估医疗保健结果的典型指标(如死亡率或恢复率)不同，很难确定哪些具体的护理结果在护理临终个人方面最重要。尽管使用了各种工具来评估姑息治疗的不同方面，但在生命的最后几天衡量一套核心结果方面还没有达成共识。为了优化临床实践中的决策和介入研究的可比性，我们的目标是确定并提出一套用于临终关怀的核心结果。

In contrast to typical measures employed to assess outcomes in healthcare such as mortality or recovery rates, it is difficult to define which specific outcomes of care are the most important in caring for dying individuals. Despite a variety of tools employed to assess different dimensions of palliative care, there is no consensus on a set of core outcomes to be measured in the last days of life.In order to optimise decision making in clinical practice and comparability of interventional studies, we aim to identify and propose a set of core outcomes for the care of the dying person.
