Abstract：
Objective: To explore the incidence of death anxiety in palliative care patients, find some existing and potential causes, and put forward suggestions. Methods: Publication bias, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and regression analysis were also conducted to explore the sources of the heterogeneity in our analysis. Results: The 607 studies were obtained, and 20 studies were included after reading the articles and quality evaluation. The incidence of death anxiety in patients was 0.44 (95%CI:0.38,0.51, p < 0.001). and heterogeneity was significant (I2 = 98.2%, p < 0.001). In the test of regression analysis, the average age (I2 = 98.15%, R2 = - 6.99%, p < 0.001); in gender (I2 = 97.84%, R2 = 1.14%, p < 0.001), its heterogeneity was also significant. Conclusion: The incidence of death anxiety is relatively high. More often occur in elderly female patients. This requires more attention to life itself rather than death.
摘要：
目的:探讨姑息治疗患者死亡焦虑的发生率,找到一些现有的和潜在的原因，并提出建议。方法：出版偏倚，敏感性分析，亚组分析，并进行了回归分析，以探索我们分析中异质性的来源。结果：共获得607项研究，在阅读文章和质量评估后，纳入了20项研究。患者死亡焦虑发生率为0.44(95CI:0.38,0.51,p<0.001)。异质性显著(I2=98.2%，p<0.001)。在回归分析的检验中,平均年龄(I2=98.15%，R2=-6.99%,p<0.001)；性别(I2=97.84%，R2=1.14%，p<0.001)，其异质性也很显著。结论:死亡焦虑发生率较高。多见于老年女性患者。这需要更多地关注生命本身而不是死亡。
