Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care has been increasingly recommended for the management of patients with motor neuron disease. While international guidelines have highlighted the importance of early palliative care referral, the best model of practice has not been well-defined.
AIM: The objective of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a structured multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care model developed in regional hospitals in Hong Kong.
DESIGN: A 10-year retrospective chart review.
SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: Adult motor neuron disease patients under care of three regional hospitals in Hong Kong. Data of patients under the care of multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care taskforce and those who were not were analyzed.
RESULTS: There were 140 motor neuron disease patients included in study. Patients in multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care group received more healthcare intervention and palliative care services, including occupational therapist (92.86% vs 78.57%, p = 0.021), dietician (67.35% vs 42.86%, p = 0.007) and speech therapist (96.94% vs 76.19%, p = 0.000) services, community support by non-governmental organizations (74.49% vs 19.05%, p = 0.000) and formal bereavement support (78.26% vs 17.07%, p = 0.000). Significantly more patients in multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care group had completed Advance Medical Directives (46.94% vs 4.76%, p = 0.000). Patients under multidisciplinary care had longer survival compared to those who were not (HR 0.539, 95% CI 0.372-0.782, p = 0.001). This remains significant after adjusting for factors affecting survival in multivariate analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Multidisciplinary neuro-palliative care demonstrated benefits in motor neuron disease patients in terms of better care coordination and service delivery, higher rate of Advance Medical Directive completion, with possible better survival observed. Future prospective studies are warranted to assess the impact on patient-centered outcomes.
