The aim of the present study was to investigate the proportion of physicians and nurses who agree with the administration of antibiotic therapy (AT), artificial hydration (AH), and artificial nutrition (AN) in patients with advanced dementia and different life expectations. Furthermore, we aimed at analysing the correlates of the opinion according to which medical treatments should no longer be given to advanced dementia patients once their life expectance falls.
