Although our previous study demonstrated a longer survival of those with home-based palliative care (PC), it lacked adjustment for some potential confounders including symptoms and treatments during the stay. We aimed to compare the survival times among advanced cancer patients receiving home-based and hospital-based PC with adjusting for symptoms and treatments.<h4>Method</h4>We compared survival time of participants who enrolled two multicenter, prospective cohort studies of advanced cancer patients at 45-home-based PC services between July 2017 and December 2017, and at 23-hoPloS onee0284147https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10101528biostudies-literatureComparison of survival times of advanced cancer patients with palliative care at home and in hospital.PMC10101528Shishido HShimizu MMatsuo HKimura YNagaoka HHamano JKamiyama YShinjo TNakano KArai YYamamoto RMorita TMiyata NMori MTakeuchi AYokomichi NMaeda INishi TYamaguchi TSaitou YfalseComparison of survival times of advanced cancer patients with palliative care at home and in hospital.<h4>Objectives</h4>One primary concern about receiving care at home is that survival might be shortened because the quality and quantity of treatment provided at home will be inferior to that given in the hospital.
