Racial disparities in end-of-life care between black and white adults with metastatic cancer

Journal of Pain and Symptom Management Sep 18, 2020

Perry LM, Wash LE, Horswell R, et al. - This study was undertaken to evaluate if Black adults received more burdensome end-of-life care than White adults in a population-based data set of cancer decedents in Louisiana, a state with a history of slavery and long-standing racial disparities. Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of end-of-life care from the Research Action for Health Network (REACHnet), a regional PCORI-funded database including 875 White and 415 Black patients with metastatic cancer who died in Louisiana from 2011-2017. For patients, families, and clinicians, findings have implications for informing healthcare decision making near the end of life, especially in regions with a history of racial discrimination and disparities.
