简要总结
This is a prospective observational study to identify the cause of delirium in patients with advanced cancer referred to Specialist Palliative Care in Emergency Department enabling early interventions for prevention and management. By identifying common, potentially reversible causes, it can guide timely and appropriate palliative care interventions. It will help to enhance the clinical decision making, symptom management, improve quality of life of patients and reduce unnecessary investigations or hospital stays. The 60 days follow-up data can inform prognosis and long-term care planning, which will contribute to better clinical outcomes.
