Specific needs of these patients and special requirements of services caring for them have not been adequately addressed so far. Since 1999, an annual, 3-month census is being conducted in different palliative care settings throughout Germany. Pooled data from the years 2002-2005 were analysed to test for differences between patients with PBT, SBT and other palliative care patients (OP). Symptom frequencies, ECOG status and nursing needs were tested for differences (chi A(2)). Free text entries for reasons for admission were recorded, categorised and analysed descriptively. A total of 5,684 patients were documented (PBT n = 153, 2.7%; SBT n = 661, 11.9%; OP n = 4,872, 85.4%). For patients with PBT, poor functional status and high need for nursing support was reported more frequently than for patients with SBT and OP. For patients with PBT/SBT physical symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation and loss of appetite) were documented less frequently and in lower intensity than for OP. However, nursing, psychological, and social problems/symptoms were documented significantly more often and showed higher intensity, particularly the patients' need for support with the activities of daily living, disorientation/confusion of the patients and overburdening of the family. For 67% of all patients, a reason for admission was documented in free text. Main reasons were symptom control (OP > SBT > PBT), social issues (PBT > SBT > OP), functional deficits (PBT > SBT > OP) and cognitive impairment (PBT/SBT > OP). Distinct neurological deficits and problems were documented more often as secondary ICD-diagnoses than as a leading reason for admission. The specific palliative care problems and the rationales leading to health care utilisation point to the need for an appropriate interdisciplinary and multi-professional provision of care for patients with brain malignancies, with a particular view on the needs of the families and an early integration of social and psychological support."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00520-009-0735-y"],["dc.identifier.isi","000280405800006"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19763633"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6760"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19174"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0941-4355"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Klinik für Palliativmedizin"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Differential palliative care issues in patients with primary and secondary brain tumours"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The decision whether to treat an active or suspected infection or to withhold or withdraw an antibiotic treatment in end-of-life care may be difficult. In order to quantify the antimicrobial prescribing practices and decision-making processes in palliative care units in Germany, a survey was performed as part of the Hospice and Palliative Evaluation in 2006. With a specifically designed questionnaire, 448 patients for whom an active or suspected infection and antibiotic treatment was discussed were documented. Data on the use of and indication for antibiotic treatment and the decision-making on withdrawal or withholding of antibiotic therapy were collected. 286 (63.8%) received an antibiotic therapy. In 88 cases, withdrawal of an ongoing treatment was documented. The most frequent reasons for withdrawal were: deterioration of general status (41.4%), inefficiency of therapy (25.7%), and explicit wish of patient (14.3%; multiple answers possible). Outcome of antimicrobial therapy was rated poor or very poor for a fifth of the cases and accordingly, antibiotics were more likely to be withdrawn if the clinical success was considered to be poor. The initiation of therapy was often decided by physicians solely, whereas withdrawing and withholding therapy demanded more often involvement of other team members in the decision-making process. The initiation of therapy seems to be easier than withdrawing and withholding, as involvement of other team members in the decision-making process was then sought more often. When antibiotics were given until death, the indication should be reconsidered because of a possibly undesirable prolongation of the dying process. Clinical practice may benefit from clear definitions of treatment goals and outcome criteria to better evaluate the necessity for and success of antimicrobial treatment."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00520-011-1084-1"],["dc.identifier.isi","000298356500014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21274577"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/27343"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0941-4355"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Klinik für Palliativmedizin"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Antibiotics in palliative medicine-results from a prospective epidemiological investigation from the HOPE survey"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
