Those who also received active psychiatric treatment experienced longer waiting times for specialist palliative care (Mean ratios (MR): 3.48 (95% CI: 1.06;11.39)) and shorter palliative care pathways (MR: 0.44 (95% CI: 0.20;0.96)) than patients without active psychiatric treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Danish patients with active severe mental disorders were less likely to complete symptom assessment, had longer waiting times and shorter specialist palliative care pathways.
