Quality indicators in the SRPC were analyzed by group (dementia\/controls) and by place of death, separately, using the chi-squared test. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between the quality indicators and having a diagnosis of dementia or not, overall and in different settings.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individuals with dementia were more likely to have staff or family members present at death, to receive documented decisions to shift to EOL care, have symptom assessments made the final week of life and prescription of injectables.
