Dear List,
Within the last few years, I thought there was a published statement, from
some authoritative group such as the AMA, which outlined the lack of
evidence
for tube feeding efficacy in late/end-stage dementia. Was I dreaming this?
If
not, does anyone have a reference?
Thank you,
Nancy Parkinson
