Résumé
The use of artificial nutrition, defined as a medical treatment that allows a non-oral mechanical feeding, for cancer patients with limited life expectancy is deemed nonbeneficial. High-quality evidence about the use of artificial nutrition near the end of life is lacking. This study aimed (a) to quantify the use of artificial nutrition near the end-of-life, and (b) to identify the factors associated with the use of artificial nutrition.
