Despite the fact that the five-year mortality rate for COPD is 50 to 60 percent, in a recent study 83 percent of patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had never discussed end-of-life plans with their physicians. A team of researchers at Staten Island University in New York reviewed the pulmonary function tests of all patients admitted to their hospital over a two-year period. Inclusion was based on a forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) that was 50 percent less than predicted. Smokers, patients with asthma or cancer, and patients younger than 50 were excluded. Eighty-three patients in all completed the study. According to lead researcher Michel Chalhoub, MD, one quarter (26 percent) of patients not only were unaware of their diagnosis but had no idea what it meant. “These patients have worse mortality than patients with stage 1 lung cancer,” Dr. Chalhoub said. “Telling a patient ‘you have emphysema’ is not good news; it’s bad news.” Fully 83 percent of patients in the study had not discussed end-of-life issues with their physicians, although 78 percent would have welcomed such a discussion. “We discuss [endof-life] issues with cancer patients and AIDS patients but not with COPD patients,” said Dr. Chalhoub. Dr. Chalhoub presented his results at the 69th Annual Conference of the American College of Chest Physicians in October (CHEST 2003). “There is a problem on both sides,” said session moderator Robert McCaffree, MD, from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “There is a mistrust on the part of many populations for the medical system, and studies show that physicians don’t initiate the discussion often enough. We may need to push it a little bit.” (Source: CHEST 2003 slide presentation, October 27, 2003.)
尽管慢性阻塞性肺病的5年死亡率为50%到60%,但在最近的一项研究中,83%的晚期慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)患者从未与他们的医生讨论过临终计划。纽约史泰登岛大学的一组研究人员回顾了两年来入院的所有患者的肺功能测试结果。纳入的依据是1秒用力呼气量(FEV1)比预测少50%。吸烟者、哮喘或癌症患者以及年龄小于50岁的患者被排除在外。共有83名患者完成了这项研究。据首席研究员Michel Chalhoub医学博士称,四分之一(26%)的患者不仅不知道自己的诊断结果,而且不知道这意味着什么。“这些患者的死亡率高于一期肺癌患者,”查尔胡布博士说。“告诉病人‘你得了肺气肿’不是什么好消息;这是个坏消息。”研究中有整整83%的患者没有和医生讨论过临终问题,尽管78%的患者会欢迎这样的讨论。“我们与癌症患者和艾滋病患者讨论[生命末期]问题,但不与COPD患者讨论,”Chalhoub博士说。Chalhoub博士在10月举行的第69届美国胸科医师学会年会上发表了他的研究结果。“双方都有问题,”会议主持人、来自俄克拉何马州俄克拉何马市退伍军人事务医疗中心的医学博士罗伯特·麦卡弗里说。“很多人对医疗系统存在不信任,研究表明,医生并不经常发起讨论。我们可能需要再推一把。(资料来源:2003年10月27日的CHEST 2003幻灯片演示。)

According to a report in the September 30 Federal Register, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will raise total payments for hospice services by 0.6 percent in 2004—a $24 million increase over fiscal year 2003. The new rates go into effect on October 1.The wage index is based on the most recent data for hospital wage scales and reflects local differences in pay levels as well as changes to the definitions of metropolitan statistical areas. In 1997, the CMS regulations were changed for hospices, implementing a new method for calculating the hospice wage index based on the recommendations of a negotiated rule-making committee. Updates to the wage-index rules were as follows:
根据《联邦公报》9月30日的一份报告,医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)将在2004年将临终关怀服务的总支出提高0.6%,比2003财政年度增加2400万美元。新利率将于10月1日生效。工资指数是根据医院工资标准的最新数据编制的,反映了各地工资水平的差异以及大都市统计区域定义的变化。1997年,针对临终关怀的CMS条例进行了修改,根据协商后的规则制定委员会的建议,实施了计算临终关怀工资指数的新方法。工资指数规则的更新如下:

Book Review: Geriatric Palliative Care 书评:老年姑息治疗
Pub Date : 2003-11-01 DOI: 10.1177/104990910302000611

Despite the fact that more than twothirds of those who die in the United States are age sixty-five and older, aging and dying has long been neglected. Many of the pioneers in the discipline of gerontology wanted to emphasize that older persons were vital and active—living beings. Many of the groundbreakers in thanatology became interested in the field because of their personal experiences with untimely, “out-of-order” deaths. Even today, there are far more books and journal articles on children and death than there are on older persons and death. This is one reason why Geriatric Palliative Care is so welcome. Happily, there is also a second reason. It is an exceptional work. Geriatric Palliative Care is a contributed book covering a broad spectrum of issues characterizing care of older adults near the end of life. Beginning with the social and cultural context of old age and frailty, this volume details specific aspects of palliative care relevant to particular disorders (e.g., cancer, strokes, and dementia) as well as individual symptoms (pain, fatigue, anxiety, etc.). Communication between caregivers and patients, in a variety of settings, is also discussed. Although any edited book has some variance in quality and content, it is a significant mark of the knowledge and dedication of the authors and editors that each chapter is of high quality. That fact makes it hard to highlight only some chapters. In a book of this caliber, what is pointed out is far more an indication of the reviewer’s interest than anything else. While each chapter makes a significant and specific contribution to the literature on geriatric end-of-life care, what makes the book extraordinary is the integration of key themes throughout the chapters. The book’s approach is highly holistic—a clear reflection of the philosophy of palliative care but one that is often not as well integrated in fact as in theory. These chapters demonstrate that philosophy in exemplary style. Moreover, a deep respect for the personhood of older people permeates the pages. Finally, there is an abiding interest in ethical issues that arise in the care of older persons. Again, these themes reflect my interests. Those who look for more specific medical interventions for various diseases, syndromes, or symptom management also will find them well discussed here. In short, this book is destined to be a classic. It not only deserves a place on the shelf of every hospice and geriatric facility and practitioner; it needs to be read—and practiced.
尽管在美国,超过三分之二的死者年龄在65岁及以上,但衰老和死亡一直被忽视。许多老年学的先驱都想强调老年人是有生命的、活跃的生命体。许多开创了死亡学的先驱者之所以对这一领域感兴趣,是因为他们有过不合时宜、“无序”死亡的个人经历。即使在今天,关于儿童与死亡的书籍和期刊文章也远远多于关于老年人与死亡的书籍和期刊文章。这就是为什么老年姑息治疗如此受欢迎的原因之一。令人高兴的是,还有第二个原因。这是一部杰出的作品。老年姑息治疗是一本贡献的书,涵盖了广泛的问题,描述了老年人在生命末期的护理。从老年和虚弱的社会和文化背景开始,本卷详细介绍了与特定疾病相关的姑息治疗的具体方面(例如,癌症,中风和痴呆症)以及个体症状(疼痛,疲劳,焦虑等)。护理人员和患者之间的沟通,在各种设置,也进行了讨论。尽管任何编辑过的书在质量和内容上都有一些差异,但每一章都是高质量的,这是作者和编辑的知识和奉献的重要标志。这一事实使得本书很难只突出某些章节。在这种水准的书中,被指出的内容更能表明评论者的兴趣,而不是其他任何东西。虽然每一章都对老年临终关怀的文献做出了重要而具体的贡献,但使这本书与众不同的是贯穿各章的关键主题的整合。这本书的方法是高度全面的,它清楚地反映了姑息治疗的哲学,但实际上往往不如理论上那么完整。这些章节以典型的风格展示了这种哲学。此外,书中弥漫着对老年人人格的深切尊重。最后,在照顾老年人方面出现的伦理问题引起了持久的兴趣。同样,这些主题反映了我的兴趣。那些为各种疾病、综合症或症状管理寻找更具体的医疗干预措施的人也会发现他们在这里得到了很好的讨论。总之,这本书注定是一部经典。它不仅应该在每个临终关怀机构和老年医疗机构的货架上占有一席之地;它需要阅读和练习。

Based on findings published in the July 26 issue of the British Medical Journal, the longer a doctor cares for dying patients, the more distressed he or she is after their deaths. However, acknowledgment of the loss and emotional support for these doctors is significantly lacking. Ellen Redinbaugh and colleagues of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute in Pittsburgh conducted a cross-sectional study of 188 physicians who had treated 68 patients who died while being treated. Twenty-one physicians (11 percent) reported feeling very close to the patient, and 139 (74 percent) found the experience of caring for the patient as “satisfying or very satisfying.” Says Dr. Redinbaugh, “They derived satisfaction from helping those patients be comfortable, and if possible, to enable them to spend comfortable and meaningful time with their families. We found that physicians can feel a sense satisfaction in being an important part of this person’s quality of life as they were dying, but at the same time, being very distressed that the person has died, creating a hole in that person’s family,” she added. Roughly one-third of the physicians in the study rated the death as having a strong emotional impact, and this impact was directly related with the length of time they had provided care. Female physicians generally reported more grief symptoms than their male counterparts. The physicians who experienced loss coped primarily by seeking emotional support, keeping busy, and “trying to see the death in a different light to make it seem more positive.” Although many reported that they had received support from colleagues, about one-third reported that their emotional needs were not met. Interestingly, only one physician attended the patient’s funeral. “Physicians recognize that they need to put some closure on their experience,” summarizes Dr. Redinbaugh, but time limitations often prevent this.

根据发表在7月26日的《英国医学杂志》上的研究结果,医生照顾垂死病人的时间越长,他或她在病人死后就越痛苦。然而,对这些医生的损失的承认和情感支持明显缺乏。匹兹堡大学癌症研究所的Ellen Redinbaugh和同事对188名医生进行了一项横断面研究,这些医生治疗过68名在治疗过程中死亡的病人。21名医生(11%)表示感觉与病人非常亲近,139名医生(74%)认为照顾病人的经历“令人满意或非常满意”。Redinbaugh博士说:“他们从帮助这些病人舒适中获得满足感,如果可能的话,让他们与家人度过舒适而有意义的时光。我们发现,在病人即将死去的时候,医生作为病人生活质量的重要组成部分会有一种满足感,但与此同时,他们对病人的死亡感到非常痛苦,在病人的家庭中造成了一个空洞。”在这项研究中,大约三分之一的医生认为死亡对情绪有强烈的影响,这种影响与他们提供护理的时间长短直接相关。女医生通常比男医生报告更多的悲伤症状。经历丧亲之痛的医生主要是通过寻求情感支持、保持忙碌,以及“试图从不同的角度看待死亡,让它看起来更积极”来应对。尽管许多人说他们得到了同事的支持,但大约三分之一的人说他们的情感需求没有得到满足。有趣的是,只有一位医生参加了病人的葬礼。Redinbaugh博士总结道:“医生们意识到他们需要结束自己的经历。”但时间限制往往阻碍了这一点。(来源:路透社健康新闻,2003年7月25日。)

As more and more healthcare products that patients at one time could only get through hospitals for use under a doctor’s supervision become available for home use, manufacturers, insurers, and physicians face an increased risk of potential litigation. Patients are now able to self-administer once complicated treatments and operate medical devices, such as dialysis machines or blood testing kits. However, along with the convenience and reduced healthcare costs associated with these products comes the likelihood that some patients will use them incorrectly. If injuries occur, lawsuits are likely not far behind. “It’s a fairly challenging type of risk to underwrite for us,” said Jill Wadlund, vice-president and casualty manager with Chubb & Son, Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. According to Ms. Wadlund, at-home healthcare products have been in use for decades, but the segment has grown substantially over the last three or four years. “It’s not going to go away. If anything, it’s going to get bigger.” Ms. Wadlund said manufacturers need to keep a number of factors in mind when designing products for use in patients’ homes. Chubb works with clients through the testing and clinical trials, FDA approval process, and product introduction phases. “We like to start with them at the very beginning when they’re in the R & D phase,” Ms. Wadlund said. “They need to demonstrate to us when they design the product that they understand the environment in which it’s being used. In a hospital setting, they can be a little more attentive.” Pete DeComo, CEO of Renal Solutions Inc., a manufacturer of kidney dialysis products, said insurance can be a tricky issue for companies that make medical products for home use. Since premiums are usually based on revenue generated, the more units that are sold, the greater the potential liability exposure will be. “I think any company coming into a market like this needs to realize your premiums are going to be high,” Mr. DeComo said. “It is one of the challenges any time you’re using a device that’s considered to be high risk.” Tom Sweeney, a product liability attorney with Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott in Pittsburgh who works with manufacturers such as General Motors, warns that litigation can still result when something goes wrong, no matter how much care a manufacturer puts into development or the warning labels that accompany it. “When you have a product like that, in the hands of the consumer . . . you are exposed to being sued, even if it’s that person’s fault,” Mr. Sweeney said.

随着越来越多的医疗保健产品(患者一次只能在医生的监督下通过医院使用)可供家庭使用,制造商、保险公司和医生面临着越来越大的潜在诉讼风险。病人现在能够自行实施曾经复杂的治疗,并操作医疗设备,如透析机或血液检测试剂盒。然而,与这些产品相关的便利性和降低医疗成本的同时,一些患者可能会错误地使用它们。如果发生人身伤害,可能很快就会发生诉讼。“对我们来说,承保这类风险相当具有挑战性,”新泽西州怀特豪斯车站Chubb & Son副总裁兼事故经理吉尔·沃德伦德(Jill Wadlund)说。据沃德伦德说,家用保健产品已经使用了几十年,但这一细分市场在过去三四年里出现了大幅增长。“它不会消失。如果有的话,它会变得更大。”Wadlund女士说,制造商在设计用于患者家庭的产品时需要考虑许多因素。安达与客户在测试和临床试验、FDA批准程序和产品引入阶段进行合作。“我们喜欢在它们还处于研发阶段的时候就开始着手,”瓦德伦德说。“他们在设计产品时需要向我们证明,他们了解产品的使用环境。在医院环境中,他们可以更细心一点。”肾透析产品生产商Renal Solutions Inc.的首席执行长德科莫(Pete DeComo)说,对于生产家用医疗产品的公司来说,保险可能是一个棘手的问题。由于保费通常基于产生的收入,因此售出的单位越多,潜在的责任风险就越大。“我认为,任何进入这种市场的公司都需要意识到,你的保费将会很高,”德科莫说。“当你使用被认为是高风险的设备时,这是一个挑战。”匹兹堡Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott律师事务所的产品责任律师汤姆•斯威尼(Tom Sweeney)曾与通用汽车(General Motors)等制造商合作。他警告说,无论制造商在产品开发上投入了多少精力,也不管产品附带了多少警告标签,一旦出现问题,仍有可能引发诉讼。“当你拥有这样一款产品,在消费者手中……你就有可能被起诉,即使是那个人的错,”斯威尼说。希望减少诉讼风险的公司应该在潜在问题出现之前,设法与消费者建立良好的关系。“这种善意往往更能减少诉讼,”斯威尼说。德科莫意识到,对于许多生产家用医疗产品的公司来说,不得不为诉讼辩护是一种可能。他说:“这是一种我们被困在岩石和硬地方之间的情况。”“你在努力帮助病人,你在努力让产品尽可能安全,但任何人都可以攻击一家公司。(资料来源:《匹兹堡商业时报》,2003年4月14日)

Patients are now able to self-administer once complicated treatments and operate medical devices, such as dialysis machines or blood testing kits. However, along with the convenience and reduced healthcare costs associated with these products comes the likelihood that some patients will use them incorrectly. If injuries occur, lawsuits are likely not far behind. “It’s a fairly challenging type of risk to underwrite for us,” said Jill Wadlund, vice-president and casualty manager with Chubb & Son, Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. According to Ms. Wadlund, at-home healthcare products have been in use for decades, but the segment has grown substantially over the last three or four years. “It’s not going to go away. If anything, it’s going to get bigger.” Ms. Wadlund said manufacturers need to keep a number of factors in mind when designing products for use in patients’ homes. Chubb works with clients through the testing and clinical trials, FDA approval process, and product introduction phases. “We like to start with them at the very beginning when they’re in the R & D phase,” Ms. Wadlund said. “They need to demonstrate to us when they design the product that they understand the environment in which it’s being used. In a hospital setting, they can be a little more attentive.” Pete DeComo, CEO of Renal Solutions Inc., a manufacturer of kidney dialysis products, said insurance can be a tricky issue for companies that make medical products for home use. Since premiums are usually based on revenue generated, the more units that are sold, the greater the potential liability exposure will be. “I think any company coming into a market like this needs to realize your premiums are going to be high,” Mr. DeComo said. “It is one of the challenges any time you’re using a device that’s considered to be high risk.” Tom Sweeney, a product liability attorney with Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott in Pittsburgh who works with manufacturers such as General Motors, warns that litigation can still result when something goes wrong, no matter how much care a manufacturer puts into development or the warning labels that accompany it. “When you have a product like that, in the hands of the consumer . . . you are exposed to being sued, even if it’s that person’s fault,” Mr. Sweeney said. Companies looking to reduce their exposure to litigation should look for ways to build good relationships with their consumers before potential problems arise. “That goodwill tends to reduce, more than anything, litigation,” Mr. Sweeney said.
