Palliative Care Consultation and End-of-Life Outcomes in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients.
The impact of palliative care consultation on end-of-life care has not previously been evaluated in a multi-center study. ⋯ Palliative care consultation was not associated with CPR performed at the end-of-life but was associated with increased incidence of comfort care being utilized. These results suggest that utilizing palliative care consultation at the end-of-life may better align the needs and values of patients with the care they receive.
