Abstract
Palliative care (PC) focuses on improving the quality of life of patients with serious illnesses. The use of PC in the field of dermatology is limited despite the presence of severe disease. In this cross-sectional study of inpatient dermatology consultations, we aimed to evaluate PC utilization among patients hospitalized with select severe dermatologic diseases. Our results suggest that PC may be underutilized when caring for patients with serious skin diseases. Palliative care should be an integral part of caring for patients with serious illnesses, and further research characterizing ways this can be accomplished by dermatologists is needed.
