The objective of this study was to find out factors associated with prolonged survival. Methods: Retrospective case-control study comparing the available data of patients with cancer who survived more than 1 year after admission in a palliative care service with patients with cancer who survived 6 months or less. The intended proportion was 4 controls for each case. Patients were identified through electronic records from 2012 until 2018. Results: And 1721 patients were identified. Of those patients, 111 (6.4%) survived for at least 1 year, and 363 (21.1%) were included as controls according to the established criteria. The intended proportion could not be reached; the proportion was only 3.3:1. The median survival of cases was 581 days (range: 371-2763), and the median survival of controls was 57 days (range: 1-182). In the multivariable analysis, patients with a hemoglobin\u2009\u2265\u200910.6\u2005g\/dL and a creatinine level &gt;95 \u00b5mol\/L had a higher probability of living more than 1 year. In contrast, patients with abnormal cognition, pain, anorexia, liver metastases, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status &gt;1, and a neutrophil\/lymphocyte ratio\u2009\u2265\u20093.43 had a low probability of living more than 1 year. Conclusion: Several factors were statistically associated positively or negatively with prolonged survival. However, the data of this study should be confirmed in other studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08258597241231005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]],"date-time":"2024-02-20T01:50:34Z","timestamp":1708393834000},"page":"244-252","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Factors Associated With Long Survival in Patients With Cancer Admitted to Palliative Care: An Exploratory Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9506-7106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Ferraz-Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Porto University, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Palliative Care, Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3299-9838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adelaide","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pneumology, Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova de Gaia\/Espinho, Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1974-3838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro Jos\u00e9","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Porto University, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Condest\u00e1vel Family Health Unit, Department of General and Family Medicine, Batalha, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana Carmo","family":"Valente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Centro Hospitalar e Universit\u00e1rio de S.
