- Abstract
Many factors affect the decision to institute long-term tube-feeding in older persons. The objectives of this cross-national survey are to examine the tube-feeding decision-making process for cognitively impaired older persons from the perspective of the substitute decision-makers (SDM) and to contrast this process in US and Canadian healthcare settings.
