Factors associated with the utilization of home hospice care at end-of-life in patients with cancer: a nationwide analysis
The presence of a family caregiver is associated with a higher likelihood of receiving home hospice care. Contrastingly, residing in non-metropolitan areas, poor consciousness, and higher pain levels are linked to lower utilization of these services. Expanding home hospice care is important as the number of patients needing end-of-life care grows.
