Summary

End-of-life care is a core topic for geriatricians. One of the key aspects of end-of-life management is deciding when to discontinue active care measures (for example blood pressure monitoring, blood tests and X-rays) in favor of exclusive comfort care. In this retrospective observational study, the investigators looked at the care measures, treatments and paraclinical exams received by geriatric patients both one week and 24 hours before their death.
