Our analysis from a national registry shows that compared to cancer, cardiovascular disease patients referred to palliative care are a decade older, have worse functional status and clinician-estimated prognosis. Both groups have very high symptom burden, with cardiovascular disease patients experiencing more dyspnea while pain, nausea, and fatigue are more common in cancer.
我们的国家注册数据分析表明，与癌症患者相比，接受姑息治疗的心血管疾病患者的年龄要大十岁，功能状态和临床医生估计的预后更差。这两个群体都有很高的症状负担，心血管疾病患者更多地出现呼吸困难，而癌症患者则更常见疼痛、恶心和疲劳。
