Abstract

Clinically significant depressive symptoms are prevalent in people with advanced life-limiting illnesses and extremely short prognoses (i.e., days to weeks).1 Nonetheless, management can be challenging due to insufficient time for intervention effects, while co-existing symptom burdens (e.g., fatigue and dysphagia) and organ dysfunctions limit intervention tolerability.2,3 Currently, systematic review evidence for depression interventions in the specific setting of extremely short prognoses is lacking.
