Abstract
Characteristics that impact the levels of palliative care are introduced. Patients with the potential to be classified as palliative may be overlooked or simply so not seek medical attention. The population is much higher than those being treated on an annual basis. Data from the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) are applied to the characteristics of palliative care and used to estimate the size of the palliative population in the United States (US).
