Generating Consensus on Good Practices in the Care of Portuguese Internal Medicine Patients Facing Imminent Death: A Delphi Study
We present the consensus about the contents of a comprehensive instrument for evaluating inpatients facing imminent death in Portuguese internal medicine wards. Best practices in this setting were defined from the point of view of internists with expertise in palliative care. However, the best pharmacological practices still require further reviews of the literature and consensus.
