Overview

Nationwide matched cohort study shows lower expenditure in end of life cancer care with palliative care, indicating benefits for healthcare systems.

Key Points

  • Healthcare expenditure during the last 4 weeks of life was significantly lower for patients receiving palliative care.
  • Patients exposed to palliative care had about €3140 lower healthcare costs compared to those not exposed.
  • Analysis utilized generalized linear model and logistic regression to assess expenditure patterns for cancer care.
  • Results suggest that changes in end of life care practices may reduce overall healthcare expenditure in cancer patients.
