Use and predictors of end-of-life care among HIV patients in a safety net health system.
The authors examined completion of advance directives, use of palliative care, and enrollment in hospice among HIV patients who receive care at an urban safety net hospital. They found that the rates of advance directive completion, palliative care use, and hospice use were low. They recommended that advances should be made in identifying those patients earlier in their disease trajectories.
