  • Experiences and perceptions of continuous deep sedation

    Open AccessLouise Annemoon Jonker, Madelon T Heijltjes et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    BACKGROUND: The incidence of continuous deep sedation (CDS) has more than doubled over the last decade in The Netherlands, while reasons for this increase are not fully understood. Patients and relatives have an essential role in deciding on CDS. We hypothesize that the increase in CDS practice is related to the changing role of patients and relatives in deciding on CDS. OBJECTIVE: To describe perceptions and experiences of patients and relatives…

    COVID-19 may cause sudden serious illness, and relatives having to act on patients' behalf, emphasizing the relevance of advance care planning (ACP).

  • Age-based disparities in end-of-life decisions in Belgium

    Open AccessKenneth Chambaere, Judith A C Rietjens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Age is not a determining factor in the rate of end-of-life decisions, but is in decision making as patient inclusion rates decrease with old age.

  • Using Drugs to End Life without an Explicit Request of the Patient

    A small proportion of deaths result from the use of drugs with the intention to hasten death without an explicit request of the patient. Additional insight into its characteristics is needed for evaluating this practice. In the Netherlands in 2001, questionnaires were mailed to physicians that addressed the decision making that preceded their patient's death. Cases of ending life without an explicit request of the patient were compared with simil…
