Limited knowledge about what matters to older people with multimorbidity hinders appropriate palliative care provision

Context Even though older people (aged 65 and over) living with multimorbidity (two or more simultaneous medical conditions) are estimated to become primary receivers of palliative care, there is little known about their perceived care needs. Consequently, there is limited evidence to inform development of palliative care services for this growing, but underserved, population. The current review by Nicholson et al explored palliative care needs among communitydwelling older people living with multimorbidity and their proxies.
