Multicenter Study Meta Analysis[Improved end-of-life care for patients with dementia: greater family satisfaction and possibly greater end-of-life comfort].
To analyse possible trends in families' evaluations of the quality of end-of-life care and the quality of dying in dementia. ⋯ We found a positive trend of increased satisfaction with end-of-life care. Families also reported a possible increase in residents' end-of-life comfort. Ongoing surveillance of outcomes measuring end-of-life quality is important in view of the increasing healthcare budget constraints.
