The decision for palliative care was negatively associated with working in a pulmonology or internal department (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.05\u20130.47) and (nonsignificantly) in an ICU (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.15\u20131.12) (Model 2).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Department association was shown to be an independent predictor for treatment decisions in end-stage COPD with acute respiratory failure.
