Multiple Sclerosis Palliative Care Soars in US Hospitals
Because Palliative care is cheaper than treatment! No wonder there's so much Medicare Fraud!
Palliative care among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) increased significantly, to 6.1% during a decade of time ending in 2014, according to new US hospital-based research.
In new analysis, investigators have found the proportion of patients with MS receiving palliative care and to have died in the hospital research that considered more than 225,000 people in US hospitals shows.
The rate of palliative care in MS patients to have died in the hospital increased from 7.7% to 58.8% over 10 years, a team led by Jay J. Shen, PhD, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Community Health Sciences, found. At the same time, costs associated with hospitalization were less for MS patients receiving palliative care than for those not getting such care.
This was true even though patients in palliative care spent slightly more time in the hospital, and were more likely to die there.
