An Integrative Model for Palliative Care in End-Stage Liver Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to understand the impact of palliative care in ESLD on quality of life, emergency room or hospital visits, and on care provider burden, and to work to develop the best way to provide palliative care in ESLD.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD) have multiple symptoms that impact their quality of life and result in more emergency room and hospital visits. Palliative care is a medical model that can help alleviate pain and suffering and reduce need for urgent medical care and can do so while continuing other appropriate medical care. While palliative care consults are used in those with ESLD, despite the pain and suffering that accompanies ESLD, palliative care is often used too little and too late. ;
