Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aim to refine the value of a statistical life (VSL) framework to align with hospice care's focus on quality over quantity of life, recognising the necessity for age-sensitive economic assessments.

Methods: We developed an adapted VSL model that incorporates patient and family preferences, which may guide resource distribution and policymaking in end-of-life care. Methods include a multidisciplinary analysis that merges economic and humanistic perspectives to advocate for policies that support adequate funding and compassionate care.

Results: Results indicate that our adjusted VSL model promotes a more equitable assessment of hospice care, advocating for enhanced patient dignity and comfort.

Conclusions: This paper presents a novel, ethically and economically balanced approach to evaluating hospice care, emphasising dignity and comfort in terminal care.

安宁疗护和统计生命年的价值 (VSLY)。
介绍:在本研究中,我们旨在完善统计生命价值(VSL)框架,使其与临终关怀注重生命质量而非数量的理念相一致,同时认识到对年龄敏感的经济评估的必要性:方法:我们开发了一个经过调整的统计生命价值模型,该模型纳入了患者和家属的偏好,可为临终关怀的资源分配和政策制定提供指导。方法包括多学科分析,融合经济和人文视角,倡导支持充足资金和体恤关怀的政策:结果表明,我们调整后的VSL模型促进了对临终关怀的更公平评估,倡导提高病人的尊严和舒适度:本文提出了一种新颖的、伦理与经济平衡的安宁疗护评估方法,强调临终关怀中的尊严与舒适。

期刊介绍: Published quarterly in print and continuously online, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care aims to connect many disciplines and specialties throughout the world by providing high quality, clinically relevant research, reviews, comment, information and news of international importance. We hold an inclusive view of supportive and palliative care research and we are able to call on expertise to critique the whole range of methodologies within the subject, including those working in transitional research, clinical trials, epidemiology, behavioural sciences, ethics and health service research. Articles with relevance to clinical practice and clinical service development will be considered for publication. In an international context, many different categories of clinician and healthcare workers do clinical work associated with palliative medicine, specialist or generalist palliative care, supportive care, psychosocial-oncology and end of life care. We wish to engage many specialties, not only those traditionally associated with supportive and palliative care. We hope to extend the readership to doctors, nurses, other healthcare workers and researchers in medical and surgical specialties, including but not limited to cardiology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, oncology, paediatrics, primary care, psychiatry, psychology, renal medicine, respiratory medicine.
