Area of Science:

Neurology
Palliative Care
Quality Improvement

Background:

Stroke causes significant mortality, with many deaths occurring post-withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatment (WLST).
Limited understanding exists regarding end-of-life experiences and symptoms for stroke patients, including those who are awake.

Purpose of the Study:

To characterize end-of-life symptoms in patients with stroke.
To understand the end-of-life experience of stroke patients and their families.

Main Methods:

Retrospective, single-center, mixed-methods quality improvement study.
Included 101 patients who died after WLST in 2022.
Analyzed clinician notes for patient wakefulness and documented symptoms.

Main Results:

Symptom documentation was infrequent, more common in awake patients (62%) than non-awake (36%).
Commonly documented symptoms included dyspnea, pain, and restlessness.
Social, spiritual, and emotional needs were rarely documented.

Conclusions:

End-of-life symptom assessment in stroke patients is inadequate.
Prospective, systematic symptom assessment is crucial for awake stroke patients.
Improved symptom management is needed for stroke patients at the end of life.
