Prognostic models and factors identifying end-of-life in non-cancer chronic diseases: a systematic review

202410 citationsOpen accessGondar University

Abstract

Our review summarised the most relevant predictors for identifying end-of-life in non-cancer NCDs. However, the predictive accuracy of identified models was generally inconsistent and low, and lacked external validation. Although efforts to improve these prognostic models should continue, clinicians should recognise the possibility that disease heterogeneity may limit the utility of these models for individual prognostication; they may be more useful for population level health planning.
