Nursing Home Residents Dying With Dementia in Flanders, Belgium: A Nationwide Postmortem Study on Clinical Characteristics and Quality of Dying
Original language description
There is a lack of large-scale, nationwide data describing clinical characteristics and quality of dying of nursing home residents dying with dementia.

For each case, a structured questionnaire was filled in by the nurse most involved in care, the family physician, and the nursing home administrator.
