BACKGROUND Empirical data about end-of-life decision-making practices are scarce. We aimed to investigate frequency and characteristics of end-of-life decision-making practices in six European countries: Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. METHODS In all participating countries, deaths reported to death registries were stratified for cause (apart from in Switzer...
