Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Ethical approval (2018/2103–31/1) was obtained from the Regional Ethical Review Board (Stockholm, Sweden) and all participants consented to inclusion in the study. The ethics permit referred to written consent, with or without assistance, depending on the situation. Therefore, each individual patient who was able to sign the consent did so himself and in cases where the general condition caused physical difficulties in writing (because of frailty caused by the dying process), the consent was filled in, with the patient’s approval, together with the patient.
