Using the LACE Score as a Predictor of Clinical Outcomes in Patients Referred for Inpatient Palliative Care Consultation: A Single-Center Experience.

This may be due to the complexity of the required care in this population; thus, other factors should be investigated to determine accurate predictors of patient outcomes to better allocate resources.
