Advance care planning uptake among patients with severe lung disease: a randomised patient preference trial of a nurse-led facilitated advance care planning intervention

However, ACP uptake is low, with discussions often occurring late. This study assessed whether a systematic nurse-led ACP intervention increases ACP in patients with advanced respiratory disease.
