Abstract

Background: Predicting the survival time of patients at the end of life can provide more accurate treatment and care programs for patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors impacting 14-day survival at the end of life.

Method: This was a retrospective study. Patients with advanced cancer admitted to the Department of Palliative Medicine in a tertiary hospital in China in 2021 were included and classified into group A (survival time ≤ 14 days) or group B (survival time > 14 days). Patient demographic characteristics, palliative performance scale (PPS) scores, Barthel index scores, Fracture Risk Assessment Scale (FRAIL) scale scores, clinical features and laboratory test results were extracted from medical records. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors of death within 14 days. Survival time was compared between frail and nonfrail patients.

Results: A total of 261 patients were included (122 in group A and 139 in group B), with a median survival time of 17 (13.04, 20.96) days. There were significant differences in age, FRAIL score, PPS, Barthel index, dyspnea, edema, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count between the two groups. According to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, the PPS could predict the risk of death within 14 days (OR = 6.818, 95% CI = 3.944-11.785, p < 0.001). The median survival time was 48 (33.71, 62.29) days in the nonfrail group (n = 34) and 15 (12.46, 17.54) days in the frail group (n = 227) (p < 0.001).

Conclusions: A lower PPS increases the risk of 14-day mortality in patients at the end of life. Frailty may shorten the survival time of patients at the end of life.

影响晚期癌症患者生命末期生存时间的因素:一项回顾性研究
背景:预测患者生命末期的生存时间可以为患者提供更准确的治疗和护理方案。本研究的目的是探讨影响生命结束时14天存活率的因素。方法:回顾性研究。纳入国内某三级医院姑息医学部2021年收治的晚期癌症患者,分为a组(生存时间≤14天)和B组(生存时间> 14天)。从病历中提取患者人口学特征、姑息治疗表现量表(PPS)评分、Barthel指数评分、骨折风险评估量表(体弱)评分、临床特征和实验室检查结果。采用单变量和多变量logistic回归分析确定14天内死亡的预测因素。比较体弱和非体弱患者的生存时间。结果:共纳入261例患者(A组122例,B组139例),中位生存时间为17(13.04,20.96)天。两组患者年龄、体弱评分、PPS、Barthel指数、呼吸困难、水肿、c反应蛋白、白细胞计数差异均有统计学意义。多变量logistic回归分析显示,PPS可预测患者14天内死亡风险(OR = 6.818, 95% CI = 3.944 ~ 11.785, p)。结论:PPS降低可增加患者生命末期14天死亡风险。虚弱可能缩短患者在生命末期的生存时间。
