Preliminary results regarding automated identification of patients with a limited six-month survival prognosis using nursing assessment in uro-oncology patients.

We specifically identified the predictors of limited prognosis in urological cancer patients across several entities using an automated scoring system based on tumor stage and data from the nursing anamnesis. Therefore, we recognized hospitalization as an important transition point and determined nurses to be valuable partners in identifying unmet palliative care needs without additional technical, personnel or financial effort.
