Factors associated with the place of death of persons with advanced dementia: A systematic review of international literature with meta-analysis.

Background: Many individuals with advanced dementia die in hospital, despite preferring home death. Existing evidence of factors affecting their place of death is inconsistent. To inform policies/practices for meeting needs/preferences, systematically establishing the evidence is pertinent, particularly given the exponential rise in advanced dementia prevalence.

Factors Associated With Family Caregiver Burden of Home-Dwelling Patients With Advanced Dementia.

Objectives: To realize patients' preferences for home death, this study aimed to identify factors associated with family caregiver burden of home-dwelling patients with advanced dementia and examine its relationship with end-of-life care treatment decisions.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Setting And Participants: Patient-family caregiver dyads enrolled in a home-based palliative care program for patients with advanced dementia, with family caregiver burden assessed using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) on enrolment, were included.
