50 Pharmacotherapy Studies Every Palliative Practitioner Should Know (PDF)

By Mary Lynn McPherson, Mellar P. Davis, Alexandra L. McPherson, Ryan Costantino, Eduardo Bruera
50 Phamarcotherapy Studies Every Palliative Practitioner Should Know is a compilation of key pharmacotherapy studies that form the foundation of evidence-based practice. The studies cover topics including: agitation and delirium, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, anorexia and cachexia, ALS, seizure, dyspnea, anxiety, pruritis, symptom clusters, COPD, cancer, and more. For each study, a concise summary is presented with an emphasis on the results and limitations of the study, and its implications for practice. Brief information on other relevant studies is provided, and an illustrative clinical case offers readers the opportunity to conceptualize findings. As with all books in the “50 Studies” series, each study was selected using an objective selection criterion that included citations per year, high levels of evidence, clinical studies and trials, and a 3-stage Delphi review by international experts in the field. This book is a must-read for palliative practitioners, pharmacists, advance practice nurses, and physician assistants, and anyone who wants to learn more about the data behind clinical practice.
