Rate of advance care planning practice during the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan: a cross-sectional survey study
This study suggested that ACP should be practiced for older patients with dementia before COVID-19 infection, which would worsen their dementia symptoms. Moreover, ACP should be emphasized for older patients admitted to facilities. Our results could help devise effective measures to facilitate ACP practices.
