This article updates the 2002 Jamie von Roenn article about "the palliation of commonly observed symptoms in older patients, including pain, neuropsychiatric, gastrointestinal, and respiratory symptoms." When palliative care was last covered in Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, President George W. Bush had just signed the No Child Left Behind Act, Homeland Security was being established, Michael Jackson won the Artist of the Century Award at the American Music Awards, and gas cost $1.61 a gallon. What has changed in the last decade and a half?
本文更新了2002年杰米·冯·罗恩所写的关于“老年患者常见症状的姑息治疗，包括疼痛、神经精神症状、胃肠道症状和呼吸道症状”的文章。上一次《老年医学临床》涵盖姑息治疗内容时，乔治·W·布什总统刚刚签署了《不让一个孩子掉队法案》，国土安全部正在组建，迈克尔·杰克逊在美国音乐奖中获得世纪艺人奖，汽油价格为每加仑1.61美元。在过去的十五年里发生了哪些变化呢？
