Most patients in the long-term care hospitals are the bedridden elderly living on tube feedings. Not only do the majority of the elderly have dementia; they generally have little chance of expressing their own words when they are offered life-prolonging treatments. The elderly may require a terminal care with a palliative approach when they are dying due to the ageing process, that is, not only as a consequence of an incurable disease.北海道大学公共政策大学院Othersapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/53311https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/53311/1/APPS7_016.pdf年報 公共政策学72913072013-05-17jpnpublisher
