Dying Trajectory in the Last Year of Life: Does Cancer Trajectory Fit Other Diseases?
Abstract
PURPOSE: To examine differences in the pattern of functional decline among persons dying of cancer and other leading noncancer causes of death. DESIGN: Mortality followback survey of next of kin listed on death certificate. SETTING: Probability sample of all deaths in the United States. PARTICIPANTS: Next of kin for 3,614 decedents that represented 914,335 deaths. MEASUREMENTS: Days of difficulty with activities of daily living and mobility in the last year of life. RESULTS: Relative to other decedents, patients with cancer experienced an increased rate of functional impairment beginning as late as 5 months prior to death. For example, only 13.9% of patients with cancer had difficulty getting out of bed or a chair 1-year prior to death. This increased from 22.2% to 63.0% in the last five months of life. In contrast, decedents from other diseases had higher rates of functional impairment 1 year prior to death (approximately 35% had difficulty getting out of bed or chair) and they manifested a more gradual increase in the level of functional decline (approximately 50% had difficulty getting out of bed). Precipitous functional decline was associated with hospice involvement and dying at home. CONCLUSION: Persons dying of cancer experienced sharp functional decline in the last months of life whereas other decedents' have a more gradual decline. The more precipitous functional decline was associated with hospice involvement and dying at home.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
