Symptom management in the older adult : 2023 update

Article indépendant

JOSEPH, Augustin | VEMULA, Balakrishna | SMITH, Thomas J.

In the older adult with a serious illness, the goal of palliative medicine and symptom management is to optimize quality of life. Frailty has become an overarching finding in many older adults with serious illness. Symptom management options need to be considered in the lens of increasing frailty along an illness trajectory. Here, the authors emphasize literature updates and best practices for the most common symptoms experienced by the older adult with a serious illness.
