Preferencias de atención a la discapacidad en una muestra de pacientes hospitalizados

Abstract

Background: In Chile, 16 % of the population are over the age of 60; of these, 25 % have some degree of functional dependence and 10 % have severe dependence. In this context, one of the problems of health teams is the definition of objectives of care when the patient cannot express them, a decision that could facilitate defining directives.
