Influence of Hospice Palliative Care on Medical Service Usage in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation Cases: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Respiratory care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNumerous studies have demonstrated that hospice palliative care interventions for cancer patients can reduce health care utilzation. In Taiwan, 20-25% of patients who require mechanical ventilation are using prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV); however, only a limited number of studies have addressed the effectiveness of hospice palliative care for these patients. This study investigated the impact of hospice palliative care utilization on medical utilization among subjects using PMV.
methodsBy using the health insurance database of a nationwide population-based study, we identified subjects who had been on mechanical ventilation for > 21 d, were age ≥18 y between 2009 and 2017, and had received hospice palliative care. The control group was formed through 1:1 matching by using propensity scoring after excluding patients who had participated in palliative care for <15 d or for >181 d. Furthermore, we used a conditional logistic regression analysis to investigate the incidence of ICU admission, emergency department presentation, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation within 14 d before death.
resultsA total of 186,533 new subjects receiving PMV age ≥ 18 y were admitted between 2009 and 2017. In addition, the number of subjects receiving palliative care increased annually, rising from 0.6% in 2009 to 41.33% in 2017. The emergency department visits (odds ratio [OR] 0.68, 95% CI 0.63-0.74), ICU admission (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.53-0.66), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.35-0.46), and total hospitalization cost ($1,319.91 ± $1,821.66 versus $1,544.37 ± $2,309.27 [$USD],
conclusionsSubjects undergoing PMV while receiving hospice palliative care experienced significant reductions in total hospitalization costs, ICU admissions, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and medical expenses within 14 d before death.
