The Occurrence of Specific Restricting Symptoms in the 12 Months before and 3 Months after Hospice Admission. Symptoms were categorized a priori according to how amenable they might be to hospice treatment. Panel A: most; Panel B: intermediate; Panel C: least. Values for the prevalence of symptoms were calculated by dividing the number of participants that reported the particular restricting symptom that month by the total number of participants who completed interviews in the month. Dashed vertical lines denote the time of hospice admission. Months before hospice admission are denoted by negative values, while those afterwards are denoted by positive values. The number of participants varies prior to hospice admission because of missing values and decreases after hospice admission because of deaths.
