Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of adherence in oncology patients to palliative care in the period from September 2020 to February 2021. Materials and Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. We reviewed 300 clinical records of the patients attended in the program Domiciliary Attention Integral Oncology of the Hospital Cayetano Heredia from September 2020 to February 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two variables were used to measure adherence, which are adherence to the appointment and constancy to the visit, establishing a minimum number of outpatient and home visits according to the functional evaluation scale, which is the ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group). Results: A total of 169 participants were included, with 115 women and a mean age of 61.7. Adherence and constancy to outpatient visits was higher in patients with greater functional dependence (ECOG 3) by 21% and 37% respectively, in contrast to the group with lower functional dependence (ECOG 1 and 2). Adherence and constancy to home visits were low throughout the study, only 3% of patients were adherent to home visits; no home visits were made to patients with ECOG 1, prioritizing patients with greater functional dependence. There was a higher prevalence of adherence to outpatient visits in those patients who had received home visits. Patients who lived less than 10 km from the hospital had twice as many (32.9%) more consistent outpatient visits than those patients who lived 10-20 km from the hospital (15.8%). Conclusions: The levels of adherence in outpatient clinics as well as in home visits were low in the study.
