Clinicians, based on their experience, can offer broad estimates of survival — in days to weeks, weeks to months, or months to years.

Key Points: 
  • Clinicians, based on their experience, can offer broad estimates of survival — in days to weeks, weeks to months, or months to years.
  • However, patients and their care partners often want greater precision when arranging or making decisions about their care.
  • However, even for an experienced clinician, estimating the life expectancy of a patient with a serious illness is challenging.

A tool for timely conversations and planning

    • RESPECT (Risk Evaluation for Support: Predictions for Elder life in their Communities Tool) is a risk communication tool powered by prediction algorithms that estimate individuals’ survival — that is, how long someone will live.
    • RESPECT was designed with patients’ information needs in mind, and with the intention of empowering patients and their care partners.

A tool for patients, care partners and clinicians

    • Older adults, their care partners and health care professionals who are uncertain about the life expectancy of someone living with a critical illness can use the calculator to gain a better understanding of their decline.
    • A patient can use this information to discuss their care needs with their care partners and health-care providers.
    • Earlier conversations about the older person’s goals and wishes for their remaining life can enable the care team to provide the best quality of life and care for the individuals under their care.

Sustainable infrastructure

    • One of the goals of RESPECT is to provide sustainable infrastructure to study, learn and improve how we use predictive algorithms for end-of-life care.
    • Despite the benefits that are emerging from the early uses of RESPECT, many questions remain about when and how it can be most appropriately used.

Identification is just the first step

    • Lysanne Lessard receives funding from Canadian Institutes of Health Research for research related to the RESPECT Learning Health System.
    • Amy T. Hsu receives funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for research related to the RESPECT Calculator.
    • Peter Tanuseputro receives funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for research related to the RESPECT calculator.
