Abstract
Patients with HD are admitted to hospice at a younger age compared with other patients (57 vs. 76Â years old) but have a significant symptom burden and limited functional status. Although hospice care emphasizes the importance of helping patients to remain in their homes, only a minority of these patients were able to die at home.
