The timely use of screening tools to assess the palliative care needs of emergency patients can provide decision-making basis for patient referral and help patients receive palliative care in a timely manner. This paper reviews the palliative care needs screening tools for emergency patients at home and abroad，describes their development methods，scoring criteria and application status，compares and analyzes their characteristics and shortcomings. It aims to provide references for the localized development and application of palliative care needs screening tools in emergency patients.
