Background: Delirium is common and distressing for patients receiving palliative care. Interventions targetting modifiable risk factors in other settings have been shown to prevent delirium. Research on delirium risk factors in palliative care can in...

Implementing person-centred outcome measures (PCOMs) into routine palliative care: A protocol for a mixed-methods process evaluation of the RESOLVE PCOM Implementation Strategy (2021)
Journal Article
Bradshaw, A., Santarelli, M., Khamis, A. M., Sartain, K., Johnson, M., Boland, J., …Murtagh, F. E. (2021). Implementing person-centred outcome measures (PCOMs) into routine palliative care: A protocol for a mixed-methods process evaluation of the RESOLVE PCOM Implementation Strategy. BMJ open, 11(9), Article e051904. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-051904

Introduction Person-centred outcome measures improve quality of care and patient outcomes but are used inconsistently in palliative care practice. To address this implementation gap, we developed the 'RESOLVE Implementation Strategy'. This protocol d...

Outcomes and measures of delirium interventional studies in palliative care to inform a core outcome set: A systematic review (2021)
Journal Article
Agar, M. R., Siddiqi, N., Hosie, A., Boland, J. W., Johnson, M. J., Featherstone, I., …Rose, L. (2021). Outcomes and measures of delirium interventional studies in palliative care to inform a core outcome set: A systematic review. Palliative medicine, 35(10), 1761-1775. https://doi.org/10.1177/02692163211040186

Background: Trials of interventions for delirium in various patient populations report disparate outcomes and measures but little is known about those used in palliative care trials. A core outcome set promotes consistency of outcome selection and me...

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) reduces pain in about 60% of patients with painful bone metastases, leaving many patients without clinical benefit. This study assesses predictors for RT effectiveness in patients with painful bone metastases. Materials...
