Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Interventions: none Measurements and Main Results: 35 questions grouped in 6 specific domains (Control of pain and symptoms (domain 1-D1), awareness of disease (D2), family burden (D3), the process of dying (D4), medical troubles including hospitalizations (D5) and technical problems linked to MV(D6) were asked after the patient's death to a family member by means of a face to face interview. Answers to the binary 35-item questionnaire were distributed into just two clusters per each domain.
