Contributions of authors

DCGB screened the results from the search strategy for this update, handsearched PDQ‐Evidence, ClinicalTrials.gov, and relevant palliative‐care publications, and updated the Background and Discussion sections. SS, BW, and SES extracted data; SS conducted the analysis and led on writing the systematic review. BW and SES provided advice on the selection criteria and commented on the draft manuscripts.

BW is a full‐time salaried employee of the National Health Service in the UK. Her responsibilities include the provision of specialist palliative care services (in the hospice, community, and hospital), service development, education, and research in palliative care. Neither she, nor her organisation, stands to gain or lose from the conclusions of this review, but like other services within the National Health Service, the conclusions of this review may inform future service development or commissioning, or both.

DCGB: none. SS: none. SES: none.

Hospital at home: home‐based end of life care

Review

Sasha Shepperd, Bee Wee, Sharon E Straus

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD009231

Differences between protocol and review

This review was originally part of a broader review evaluating the effectiveness of hospital at home services, first published in Issue 1, 1998 of the Cochrane Library (Shepperd 2005). As more data have become available, this broader review has been split into three: Hospital at home admission avoidance, Hospital at home early discharge, and Hospital at home: home‐based end‐of‐life care. The titles have been changed for consistency. Hospital at home admission avoidance, Shepperd 2008, and Hospital at home early discharge, Shepperd 2009, are published in the Cochrane Library.

We made a post‐hoc decision to adjust the data entered into the meta‐analysis using an estimate of the intracorrelation coefficient of 0.02, as the authors reported no confidence intervals (Jordhøy 2000). We included a new outcome (staff views on the provision of services). We updated the methods in this update to align with current Cochrane guidance, including the Methodological standards for the reporting of Cochrane Intervention Reviews (MECIR 2012).

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Notes

Brumley 2007

Controlling for survival, age, severity of illness and primary disease, adjusted mean cost (SD)

T= $12,670 ($12,523)

C= $20,222 ($30,026)

Average cost per day incurred by those on intervention arm ($95.30) was significantly lower than that of comparator group ($212.80) (t = ‐2.417; P = 0.02)

Service costs were calculated using actual costs for contracted medical services in Colorado and proxy cost estimates for all services provided within the HMO as services within the HMO are not billed separately.

Costs were based on figures from 2002

Hospitalisation and emergency department cost estimates were calculated using aggregated data from more than 500,000 HMO patient records and include ancillary services such as laboratory and radiology.

Costs of physician office visits included nurse and clerk expenses.

Home health and palliative care visits were calculated using average time spent on each visit and multiplying that by the cost for each discipline’s reimbursement rate.

Proxy costs generated for hospital days and emergency department visits were significantly lower than the actual costs received from contracted providers.

Total cost variable was constructed by aggregating costs for physician visits, emergency department visits, hospital days, skilled nursing facility days and home health or palliative days accumulated from the point of study enrolment until the end of the study period or death

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate certainty: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low certainty: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low certainty: We are very uncertain about the estimate.

1We downgraded the certainty of the evidence due to inconsistency of findings among studies.

2We downgraded the certainty of the evidence as different measures were used, and only two out of the four included studies reported data for these outcomes.

3We downgraded the certainty of evidence due to inconsistency of findings among studies, studies reporting different healthcare resources, and only two out of four included studies reporting data for this outcome.
