To evaluate the validity of known-groups, the palliative care needs screening results of patients with different characteristics were compared.

Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the inter rater reliability and test-retest reliability of the scale. Results The Chinese version of the PCST includes 10 items, with scores ranging from 0 to 14 points. The CR values of entries ranged from 0.621 to 8.820, and all entries except entries 1 and 8 achieved significant values (P |
