Advance care planning for end-of-life care

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: The objective is to examine whether end‐of‐life care involving advance care planning, as compared to end‐of‐life care without or with a less structured form of advance care planning, results in fewer hospital admissions or less use of treatments with a primary life‐prolonging or curative intent near the end of life and fewer hospital deaths.
