简要总结
In 2003, MAHO study (Ferrand E, Jabre P, Vincent-Genod C, et al. Circumstances of death in hospitalized patients and nurses' perceptions: French multicenter Mort-a-l'Hôpital survey. Arch Intern Med. 2008 168: 867-875.) evaluated the way 3793 patients died in 200 French hospitals and showed that their conditions of death were not optimal. The 22th April 2005 French Law precised patient's end of life rights with necessity to refrain from any unreasonable obstinacy, the right to refuse treatments and the obligation of a collegial process decision when the patient is not conscious. Since then, studies haven't demonstrate any improvement and found that palliative strategy in France is much less used than in other developed countries.

In 2003, MAHO study evaluated the way 3793 patients died en 200 French hospitals and showed that their conditions of death were not optimal. The 22th April 2005 French Law precised patient's end of life rights with necessity to refrain from any unreasonable obstinacy, the right to refuse treatments and the obligation of a collegial process decision when the patient is not conscious. Since then, studies haven't demonstrate any improvement and found that palliative strategy in France is much less used than in other developed countries.
Principal Objective: To evaluate the impact of an early palliative strategy using vulnerability criteria compared to standard care.
Primary endpoint: Rate of withdraw/withhold of treatment in each group.
Secondary objectives: To evaluate the impact of early recognition of patients' vulnerability on death conditions ; to evaluate this strategy impact according to unit type on length of stay, palliative strategy modalities and caregivers' satisfaction.
Secondary endpoints: Rate of therapeutic involvement reflections ; rate of death following withholding or withdrawing of treatments ; traceability of the level of therapeutic involvement process ; Rate of patients deceased with their relatives next to them ; rate of patients deceased with comfort treatment ; rate of palliative care consultation before death ; rate of asks for euthanasia ; Doctor and nurse's perception of quality of support and death process of the patient
