Patients' participation in end-of-life care: relations to different variables as documented in the patients' records.

• Patients' participation in care is crucial for assuring patients a high quality of care based on values such as autonomy. The patients are supposed to be actively involved in care and treatment, even though these situations are complex, as in the context of end-of-life-care. The aim in this study was to identify demographic and health-related variables' relation to patients' participation during the last three months in life as documented in patients' records.
