Resumo: Objective: to identify and characterize the elderly hospitalized in a medical clinic sector of a hospital of clinics, in terms of having eligible criteria and having been indicated for palliative care. Method: retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study. Data were collected through the investigation of electronic medical records of all elderly hospitalized from January to December 2019, in a medical clinic sector and filling out the Supportive and palliative care indications tool (SPICT) questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed to characterize the sample and Fisher's Exact Test to assess the association between two categorical variables. Results: 379 medical records were evaluated, and of these, it was found that 146 (38.5%) elderly were eligible for palliative care. Of this sample, men predominated (63%), with a mean age of 73.9 years. The most frequent diagnosis was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (17.8%) and the underlying disease was systemic arterial hypertension (67.8%). Of the 146 elderly eligible for palliative care, only 50 actually received the indication by the health team and from this sample, 68% had death as an outcome. Conclusion: less than half of elderly patients eligible for palliative care actually received the indication. It is essential that professionals have knowledge about the principles and indication of palliative care, in order to plan and implement adequate care and then provide a better quality of life for this profile of patients.

Método: estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y cuantitativo. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de la investigación de historias clínicas electrónicas de todos los ancianos hospitalizados de enero a diciembre de 2019, en un sector de clínica médica y el llenado del cuestionario Supportive and palliative care indicaciones tool (SPICT). Se realizó análisis descriptivo para caracterizar la muestra y Test Exacto de Fisher para evaluar la asociación entre dos variables categóricas. Resultados: fueron evaluados 379 prontuarios, de los cuales 146 (38,5%) ancianos fueron elegibles para cuidados paliativos. En esta muestra predominaron los hombres (63%), con una edad media de 73,9 años. El diagnóstico más frecuente fue enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (17,8%) y la enfermedad de base hipertensión arterial sistémica (67,8%). De los 146 ancianos elegibles para cuidados paliativos, sólo 50 recibieron efectivamente la indicación del equipo de salud y de esa muestra, 68% tuvieron como desenlace la muerte. Conclusión: menos de la mitad de los pacientes ancianos elegibles para cuidados paliativos recibieron realmente la indicación. Es fundamental que los profesionales tengan conocimiento sobre los principios e indicación de los cuidados paliativos, con el fin de planificar e implementar cuidados adecuados y luego brindar una mejor calidad de vida para este perfil de pacientes.Objetivo: identificar e caracterizar os idosos internados em um setor de clínica médica de um hospital de clínicas, quanto a possuir critério elegível e ter sido indicado a cuidado paliativo.
