According to our findings, a substantial number of patients with COPD in Turkey die in hospitals. The insufficiency of nursing homes and lack of hospice care cause more hospital deaths. Our data are expected to guide the development of end-of-life care policies for patients with COPD in our country. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; ••: ••-••.
