Résumé
Quality indicators are frequently used to measure the quality of care at the end of life. Whether quality indicators of potential (i.e., when the risks outweigh the benefits) at the end of life can be reliably applied to routinely collected data remains uncertain. This study aimed to identify quality indicators of overtreatment at the end of life in the published literature and to investigate their tentative prevalence among older adults dying with solid cancer.
