Palliative care at end-of-life for people with liver cancer: A 10 year population-based study in Australia.

Multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with palliative care admissions using linked hospital, cancer registry, notifiable conditions, and mortality records.

People admitted to intensive care (OR 0.60; 95%CI0.47-0.75) or who had mechanical ventilation (OR 0.46; 95%CI0.29-0.74) in the last 12 months prior to EOL were less likely to have a palliative care admission.

This is the first Australian study to examine palliative care use in liver cancer on a population-level.
