Which Priorities Should Guide Palliative Surgical Research?

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Research priorities in surgical palliative care should go beyond generating data from traditional surgical morbidity or mortality metrics. Surgical researchers can seek to better understand care management complexities of surgical patients with serious illnesses in order to gather high-quality, patient-centered data; improve surgical patients' experiences; and motivate surgical palliative care as a field.
