Overall survival of homebound patients without cancer receiving inpatient respite care in a hospital ward in Japan: a retrospective observational study.
Hisayuki MiuraYuko GotoPublished in: BMJ open (2024)
Homebound patients without cancer receiving inpatient respite care during the study period in Japan demonstrated higher overall survival than those who did not receive respite care. Subgroup analysis of patients with neurological disorders yielded similar results. Further studies are needed to investigate the benefits of inpatient respite care, including the exploration of appropriate methods for its use.
