It is worth highlighting that, although the publications have been researched on databases using the words “palliative care” AND “aged” AND “bioethics”, the studies found were not always pertinent to terminally ill aged patients, but to terminally ill patients in general, who require palliative care.
Cabe destacar que, aunque las publicaciones hayan sido investigadas en las bases de dados utilizando los vocablos “palliative care” AND “aged” AND “bioethics”, los trabajos encontrados no siempre se restringían solamente a pacientes mayores terminales, sino a pacientes terminales en general, los cuales exigen cuidados paliativos.
