| Abstract: | Background: Chemotherapy (CMT) use near death, based on US national guidelines, is an indicator of aggressive treatment and poor quality of end-of-life (EOL) care. US law also decreased Medicare payments for outpatient CMT since 2005-2006. To evaluate the impact of US payment reform and guidelines on CMT use at EOL, we estimated and compared the overall prevalence of CMT use at EOL in the US and other countries as well as before and after 2007 in the US. Methods: Six databases were systematically searched to January 2017 for population-based studies of CMT use at EOL for patients in all cancer groups. Two reviewers independently extracted data.Overall CMT use prevalence was pooled by a random-effects model. Differences in prevalence of CMT use were compared by meta-regression between subgroups (US vs non-US countries; before and after 2007 in the US). Results: We identified 9 and 7 articles from the US and non-US countries, respectively. CMT was provided to 28.9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 26.2%-31.8%], 23.2% [95% CI 21.7%- 24.8%], 10.0% [95% CI 8.5%-11.8%], and 4.5% [95% CI 3.9%- 5.2%] of cancer patients in their last 6, 3, and 1 months as well as 14 days of life, respectively. CMT use in the last 6 months was more common in the US than in non-US countries (32.4% vs. 26.2%, p = 0.015) but similar to that of other countries in the last month (9.3% vs.11.2%, p = 0.179) and last 14 days (4.6% vs.5.6%, p = 0.683) of life. Prevalence of CMT use in the last 14 days of life in the US did not differ significantly before and after 2007 (5.1% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.967). Conclusions: Many cancer patients worldwide receive CMT at EOL, and the prevalence of CMT use in US patients’ last 14 days of life was virtually unchanged over time. Effective interventions should be developed and provided to offset the trend of continuing CMT use at EOL. |
