San Francisco [US], September 26 (ANI): A mortality prediction model for dementia patients may aid clinicians in framing discussions with patients and families about end-of-life care options such as at-home care and nursing homes. Furthermore, the model may assist physicians in determining whether patients should continue with routine cancer screening or discontinue medications, such as insulin for Type 2 diabetes patients - interventions that may cause more harm than good.
