Abstract：
The demand for palliative care is increasing globally, yet a notable lack of awareness continues to present a significant obstacle to its widespread adoption. The use of digital tools like Google Trends can help gauging public interest in specific topics. We used Google Trends to conduct a systematic search of terms related to palliative care from January 1, 2010, to May 10, 2023. The results were filtered by location, including worldwide and Latin American countries. We found a global increase in searches for terms related to palliative care, with a peak in December 2022 associated with the death of Brazilian footballer Pelé. Countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia mirrored this trend, while others like Argentina and Peru did not. Interest in palliative care is on the rise in Latin America, albeit with notable regional variations.
摘要：
全球对姑息治疗的需求正在增加，然而，明显的缺乏意识继续对其广泛采用构成重大障碍。使用像Google趋势这样的数字工具可以帮助衡量公众对特定主题的兴趣。从2010年1月1日至2023年5月10日，我们使用Google趋势对与姑息治疗相关的术语进行了系统搜索。结果按位置过滤，包括全球和拉丁美洲国家。我们发现与姑息治疗相关的术语搜索在全球范围内有所增加，2022年12月的高峰与巴西足球运动员贝利的死亡有关。像巴西这样的国家，墨西哥,哥伦比亚反映了这一趋势，而阿根廷和秘鲁等其他国家则没有。拉丁美洲对姑息治疗的兴趣正在上升，尽管地区差异显著。
