Integrating Advance Care Planning as part of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for hospitalised frail elderly patients: findings of a cross-sectional study.

Greater public education of end-of-life care choices (besides CPR) and follow-up of decliners are recommended. PMID: 31423542 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
