| Core Tip |
There are significant patient and physician-level barriers hindering the uptake of palliative care in pulmonary arterial hypertension, including feelings of hopelessness, depression, sadness, lack of funding, and lack of knowledge. These psychological and systemic challenges collectively limit timely referral and integration of palliative services within routine pulmonary arterial hypertension management. A meta-analysis of four studies reveals no statistically significant difference in mortality with palliative care (Log odds ratio = 0.89, 95% confidence intervals: -3.06-1.28). |
