      <dc:description>The aim of this study was to compare the symptomatology, palliative care outcomes,&#xd;
therapeutic procedures, diagnostic tests, and pharmacological treatments for people with dementia&#xd;
(PWD) and without dementia (PW/OD) admitted to Spanish nursing homes. Design: This was a&#xd;
cross-sectional study which is part of a long-term prospective follow-up of elderly people performed&#xd;
in nursing homes to measure end-of-life care processes. Participants: 107 nursing home patients&#xd;
with advanced or terminal chronic diseases were selected according to the criteria of the Palliative&#xd;
Care Spanish Society. Setting: Two trained nurses from each nursing home were responsible&#xd;
for participant selection and data collection. They must have treated the residents and had a&#xd;
minimum seniority of 6 months in the nursing home. Measurements: Sociodemographic data;&#xd;
Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale; Palliative Care Outcome Scale; and prevalence of diagnostic&#xd;
tests, pharmacological treatments, and therapeutic procedures were evaluated. Results: Pain,&#xd;
fatigue, and nausea were found to be significantly higher in the nondementia group and insomnia,&#xd;
poor appetite, and drowsiness were significantly higher in the dementia group. Patient anxiety,&#xd;
support, feeling that life was worth living, self-worth, and practical matters management were&#xd;
higher in the nondementia group. Regarding drugs, use of corticoids was higher in the nondementia&#xd;
group, while use of anxiolytics was higher in the dementia group. Diagnostic procedures such as&#xd;
urine analysis and X-ray were higher in the dementia group. Conclusions: Differences in symptom&#xd;
perception, diagnostic tests, and pharmacological procedures were found between patients with and&#xd;
without dementia. Specific diagnostic tools need to be developed for patients with dementia.</dc:description>
