Comparative StudyEnd-of-life decision-making in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland: does place of death make a difference?
To examine differences in end-of-life decision-making in patients dying at home, in a hospital or in a care home. ⋯ The results suggest the possibility that end-of-life decision-making is related to the care setting where people die. The study results seem to call for the development of good end-of-life care options and end-of-life communication guidelines in all settings.
