Dialysis discontinuation
— a "good" death? | | Author(s) | Lewis M Cohen, Jack D McCue, Michael Germain |

| Annotation | By the authors' largely subjective criteria, most of a prospective cohort of patients studied who discontinued dialysis experienced a good death. Improved palliative therapy for some of these dying patients, however, could have ameliorated prolonged suffering, delirium, and inadequately treated pain that led to a poor quality of death.
