Objectives: To describe quality of palliative care for patients with dementia across different countries in Europe

Different aspects of quality of care will be studied ie communication, end-of-life decision-making, advance care planning, use and accessibility of palliative care, aggressiveness of care and treatments received at the end of life, and quality of dying etc, using a number of retrospective and prospective data that have been gathered or are being across Europe e.g. data from GPs, data from long-term care settings, death certificate studies, and data from the interrRAI Long Term Care Facility.
