The study included 3575 decedents with hematological malignancies and 50,592 with solid tumors. Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for demographic and clinical characteristics. QOD and QOC were assessed using the Good Death Inventory (GDI) and the Care Evaluation Scale 2.0 (CES). Bivariate analyses compared the matched groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, QOD and QOC were comparable between groups. However, among the GDI subdomains, patients with hematological malignancies had slightly lower scores for \u201cgood relationships with family\u201d (mean difference, 0.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.03\u20130.3) and \u201cpreparation for death\u201d (mean difference, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.04\u20130.3). In addition, patients with hematological malignancies were less likely to die in palliative care units than those with solid tumors (mean difference, 3.9%; 95% CI, 0.4%\u20137.4%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although overall quality measures were similar, specific QOD domains related to family relationships and preparation for death were slightly lower among patients with hematological malignancies. These findings may reflect limited opportunities for end\u2010of\u2010life discussions due to the unpredictable and rapidly progressive course of hematological malignancies. Enhancing communication about prognosis and goals of care and early integration of palliative care may improve end\u2010of\u2010life experiences.<\/jats:p>\n
