New England Journal of Medicine, 10/20/09
Mitchell SL et al. – Pneumonia, febrile episodes, and eating problems are frequent complications in patients with advanced dementia, and these complications are associated with high 6–month mortality rates. Distressing symptoms and burdensome interventions are also common among such patients.
