2 Objectives o Describe how dying has changed o Describe the 4 common pathways to death o Identify the common denominators to decline which are universal despite diagnosis o List important prognostic factors for specific disease categories o Discuss when to refer patients to hospice and palliative care based upon prognostic information How Dying Has Changed - US Pneumonia 1. Heart Disease 2. Tuberculosis 2. Cancer 3. Diarrhea and Enteritis Life expectancy: 47 years Disability: Days to Weeks 3. Pulmonary Disease 78.2 years Weeks to Years Chronic Disease o Nearly 1 in 2 Americans has a chronic disease o Projected to increase 157 million Americans by 2020; 171 million by 2030 o Americans are living longer from 2010 to 2030 > 65 years old increase 13.2% to 20% o 90% seniors have at least one chronic disease, 77% have 2 o 24% of those with chronic illness disability Chronic Conditions: Making the case for ongoing care. RWJ 9/2004 update 2
3 Prognosis o Provides framework to make informed decisions about care o Provides life-care planning spiritual financial psychosocial relationships/forgiveness opportunity to say goodbye life closure and legacy giving 7 Discussion of Prognosis and Goals Leads to Different Medical Care in the Last Week of Life Wright, A.

4 Prognostication in Cancer o 50% < 6 month survival o Systemic review 383 articles o Universal picture of decline o Little evidence that treatment influenced survival time o Hospice - median survival time - 3 wks Salpeter,S. Systemic Review of Cancer Presentations with a median survival of 6 months or less JPM Vol 14, 2011 Prognostication in Non Cancer o Universal factors - 50% 6 mo mortality Poor performance status Advanced age Malnutrition Comorbidites Organ Dysfunction Hospitalization for acute decomposition o Treatment did not improve prognosis Salpeter,S Systematic Review of Noncancer Presentations with a median survival of 6 months or less AJMed 2011 Prognosis o Diagnosis is it terminal? severity of disease co-morbidities worsening symptoms functionally dependent rehab potential poor progressive rate of decline o Treatment maximal 12 4
5 Prognosis - Overestimate o 326 patients with cancer in 5 Chicago hospices o 20% accuracy in predicting prognosis o 63% overestimate, 17% underestimate o Only 37% would give frank disclosure, even when patient requested survival estimate o Average survival time was 26 days; average communicated survival time was 90 days o Closer the relationship more likely to err Christakis, Annals of Int Med, Prognostication for the Generalist Would you be surprised if this patient died within the next year?
