The narrow link between practice, education, and research is essential to palliative care development. In Portugal, academic postgraduate publications are the main booster for palliative care research.
This is a bibliometric study that aims to identify Portuguese palliative care postgraduate academic work published in electronic academic repositories between 2000 and 2015.
488 publications were identified. The number of publications has increased, especially in the last five years. The most frequently used method was quantitative, healthcare professionals were the most studied participants, and psychological and psychiatric aspects of care comprised the most current theme. Practice-based priorities are financial costs and benefits of palliative care, awareness and understanding of palliative care, underserved populations, best practices, communication, and palliative care in nonhospital settings.
The number of palliative care postgraduate academic publications has increased in Portugal in the past few years. There is academic production in the eight domains of quality palliative care and on the three levels of recommendation for practice-based research priorities. The major research gaps in Portugal are at the system and societal context levels.

这是一项文献计量学研究，旨在识别2000年至2015年间在电子学术数据库中发表的葡萄牙姑息治疗研究生学术成果。
共识别出488篇出版物。出版物数量有所增加，尤其是在过去五年。最常用的方法是定量研究，医疗保健专业人员是研究最多的参与者，护理的心理和精神方面是当前最热门的主题。基于实践的优先事项包括姑息治疗的财务成本和效益、对姑息治疗的认识和理解、服务不足的人群、最佳实践、沟通以及非医院环境中的姑息治疗。
