IN-PEACE Clinical Trial: Palliative Care for People Living with Dementia and Their Caregivers
A recent study published in JAMA found that people living with dementia in community settings who received palliative care had fewer combined emergency department (ED) and hospitalization events compared to those who did not receive palliative care. This suggests that integrating palliative care into dementia treatment may help reduce the need for acute medical interventions. The study highlights the potential for palliative care to improve outcomes by addressing patients’ symptoms, and supporting caregivers.
