A Review published in BMCPalliatCare identifies the eligibility criteria for trials in palliative care to develop need-based triggers for timely referral for older adults severely affected by noncancer conditions.
]. As palliative care needs vary widely, continued assessment of needs-based triggers are advocated. Standardised measures that can aid clinicians to assess palliative needs and concerns should be easy to use and interpret for all healthcare professionals and short to accommodate time constraints in clinical settings [A key strength of this review is the identification and analysis of trial eligibility criteria for noncancer conditions without restricting by diagnosis.
In the study selection process, although we assessed all relevant full-articles by two reviewers independently, the titles and abstracts of studies retrieved in bibliographic searches were assessed by one reviewer. Single screening of the titles and abstracts can influence the number of studies missed. Finally, the included studies were predominantly conducted in high-income countries in Europe and the US. This limits generalisability to non-Western regions and low-middle income countries.
