摘要
Context. Minority patients receive more aggressive and potentially suboptimal care at the end of life (EOL). We investigated preferences about pharmacologic interventions at the EOL and their potential variation by sociodemographic factors among recently diagnosed cancer patients. Methods. A population-based cross-sectional survey of cancer patients identified through the Texas Cancer registry was conducted using a multi-scale inventory between March 2018 and June 2020. Item responses to questions about potential pharmacologic interventions at the EOL were the focus of this investigation. Inverse probability weighted multivariate analysis examined associations of sociodemographic characteristics, health literacy, and trust in medical professionals with pharmacologic preferences. Results. Of the 1480 included responses, 13.3% stated they would take a medication that may prolong life at the cost of feeling worse. Adjusted analyses showed Black or Hispanic race/ethnicity, living with another person, and having a higher trust score were more likely to express this preference. In contrast, 41-65 years (vs. 21-40 years), living in a rural area, and adequate or unknown health literacy were less likely to express this preference. Overall 16% of respondents were opposed to potentially life shortening palliative drugs. In adjusted analysis Black or Hispanic respondents were more likely to be opposed to potentially life shortening drugs although age 65-79 and >= college education were associated with a decreased likelihood of opposition to this item. Conclusion. Black and Hispanic cancer patients were more likely to express preferences toward more aggressive EOL pharmacologic care. These findings were independent of other sociodemographic characteristics, health literacy and trust in the medical profession. (C) 2021 American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.
