INTRODUCTION
Understanding the profile of end users is a key input for designing a service. Centers that provide full-scale palliative care are few and far between in our country, and there is a need to open more centers to extend the services to a larger percentage of patients.
METHODS
Patient data from the inception of the center till January 2016 have been stored in a database. The data were mined, exported to Excel, and analyzed.
RESULTS
The data of 11,258 patients revealed the profile of patients, including their age, gender distribution, marital status, symptomology, and outcome. The present paper describes the profile of patients opting for palliative care in our country.
CONCLUSIONS
The profile of patients registered at this center validates certain assumptions while debunking others. It is hoped that this profile gives some guidance to those desirous of setting up palliative care services.
引言
了解最终用户的情况是设计服务的关键要素。在我国，提供全面姑息治疗的中心寥寥无几，因此有必要开设更多中心，以便将服务扩展到更大比例的患者。
方法
该中心自成立至2016年1月的患者数据已存储在数据库中。对这些数据进行挖掘、导出到Excel并进行分析。
结果
11258名患者的数据揭示了患者的情况，包括他们的年龄、性别分布、婚姻状况、症状和结局。本文描述了我国选择姑息治疗的患者情况。
结论
在该中心登记的患者情况证实了某些假设，同时也推翻了其他一些假设。希望这一情况能为那些有意设立姑息治疗服务的人提供一些指导。
