Implication

Analysis shows hospital teaching status influences palliative care access in advanced cancer, highlighting disparities.

Key Points

  • Palliative care use among advanced cancer patients is low, with only 25.5% receiving it despite its benefits.
  • Hospital teaching status significantly predicts access to palliative care, with an odds ratio of 1.75.
  • Race and gender did not significantly influence palliative care utilization among the studied population.
  • Addressing disparities in hospital-based palliative care could improve access for patients with advanced cancer.
