Development of a Mortality Prediction Model for Incarcerated Adults to Identify Palliative Care Needs

Estimating mortality risk in incarcerated adults is important for identifying individuals who may benefit from palliative care and compassionate release referrals.

Dr. John Boscardin, with Drs. Sei Lee and Alexander K. Smith, and colleagues set out to develop and internally validate a 2-year mortality prediction model in incarcerated adults with the study titled, “Development of a Mortality Prediction Model for Incarcerated Adults to Identify Palliative Care Needs”, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

• Heart Failure Awareness Week (U.S.), February 8th-14th, especially focuses on the heart health of our elderly and Veteran population.
• National Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day, February 22nd, raises awareness about heart valve disease — its risk factors, symptoms, detection, and treatment — to reduce the burden of the disease.

NCIRE supports cardiovascular research Investigators: Drs. Jorge Kizer, Joseph Yang, Kendrick Shunk, Paul Simpson, John Teerlink, Neal Yuan, and Kendrick Shunk and Jeffrey Zimmet, whose research continues to set the pace for cardiovascular health care.

Rebecca Sudore Publishes Advance Care Planning Trial in Annals of Internal Medicine

Advance care planning (ACP) can improve communication of patients' preferences in their care but is often underutilized in health systems.

Rebecca Sudore, MD, and colleagues conducted a trial across 50 clinics in 3 University of California health systems to compare approaches in increasing the use of ACP for seriously ill patients.

The trial, titled “Interventions to Improve Advance Care Planning Documentation in the Electronic Health Record”, was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
