Tóm tắt :

21 p. This brief reviews the evidence on health and social care needs and expenditures at the end of life. End of life costs are the main reason for high per person spending levels observed at older ages in many European countries. However, there is huge variation between individuals, with estimates suggesting that just 10% of people near the end of life are responsible for over 60% of total end of life health and social care expenditures. High-cost individuals tend to be frail people with multiple chronic illnesses who use considerable hospital and social care services.In most European countries, there will be large increases in annual deaths in the coming years as the ‘baby boom’ generation ages and improved survival ultimately leads to more deaths each year. This will inevitably lead to growth in end of life needs and, ultimately, spending levels. However, there are a number of strategies available to address these challenges. Some end of life needs can be reduced with more active public health measures and active rehabilitation, much of which can be very cost-effective. More active assessment of care needs can also significantly improve the experiences of patients and families, reduce unnecessary tests and interventions, will not shorten survival, and can help to limit the growth in costs.
