Characteristics and Outcomes of Palliative Continuous Intravenous Inotrope Support Among Medicare Beneficiaries With Heart Failure
Among Medicare FFS beneficiaries with HF, palliative CIIS is rare and primarily utilized among older beneficiaries with high global comorbidity. Despite the palliative indication, beneficiaries have high rates of admission and low use of palliative care services. Palliative care and associated services should be better integrated into the care of patients with palliative CIIS.
