Among patients with advanced heart failure, blacks and Hispanics are less likely to receive hospice care than whites, researchers found. After adjustment for sociodemographic, clinical, and geographic factors, blacks were 41% less likely to have hospice care than whites (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.73) and Hispanics were 51% less likely (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.66), according to Jane Givens, MD, of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and colleagues.
