title: [Usefulness of support from end-of-life care teams in difficult decision-making].
abstract: It is unclear how hospitals should support a patient's decision to return home to die. Thus, we retrospectively examined the usefulness of support from an End-Of-Life Care Team in such difficult decision making. The subjects included non-cancer patients and the elderly. Our results suggest that the burden of making difficult decisions decreases with support from End- Of-Life Care Teams.
