35/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 35 out of 100. End-of-life care

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

In Mae Pa, the palliative care need prevalence was 2.03 per 1,000, among them, 84.62% had non-cancer conditions and 38.46% had neurodegenerative diseases with frailty and dementia. The prevalence was highest, at 93.21%, among the older adults. In Mueang Phon, the prevalence was 2.33 per 1,000, with 54.55% having neurodegenerative diseases with frailty and dementia, and 81.82% having non-cancer conditions. The prevalence was 100% among the older adults. The results showed that, palliative care need prevalence is highest among individuals with non-cancer conditions and those aged older than 60 years. These findings could help guide the development and provision of palliative care at the community level.
