TLDR
Functional status impairment perceived by the ICU team is associated clearly with do-not-resuscitate directives in patients unable to participate in decision making, but the association appears much weaker in patients able to participateIn decision making.About:

International differences in end-of-life attitudes in the intensive care unit: results of a survey.
Arino Yaguchi,Robert D. Truog,J. Randall Curtis,John M. Luce,Mitchell M. Levy,Christian Melot,Jean Louis Vincent +6 more
TL;DR: In countries where intensive care medicine is relatively well developed, considerable differences remain in physicians' attitudes toward end-of-life care in the intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient and healthcare professional factors influencing end-of-life decision-making during critical illness: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Patients and clinicians may approach end-of-life discussions with different expectations and preferences, influenced by religion, race, culture, and geography, and appreciation of those factors associated with more and less technologically intense care may raise awareness, aid communication, and guide clinicians in end- of- life discussions.

Rationing in the intensive care unit.
Robert D. Truog,Dan W. Brock,Deborah J. Cook,Marion Danis,John M. Luce,Gordon D. Rubenfeld,Mitchell M. Levy +6 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy of the rationing choices faced by intensivists is developed as a framework for ethical analysis and clarifies the type of evidence appropriate to supporting the decision that is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Medical Emergency Team System and not-for-resuscitation orders: results from the MERIT study.
TL;DR: In a cohort of Australian hospitals, most deaths occurred in patients with a previously documented NFR order but NFR orders were uncommon before cardiac arrest calls or unplanned ICU admissions, and MET allocation, teaching hospital status, number of hospital beds and metropolitan location could only explain less than 50% of variance in N FR orders.

DNR directives are established early in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit patients.

TL;DR: One third of mechanically ventilated patients had DNR directives established early during their ICU stay after the first 24 hr of admission, and the strongest predictors were physician prediction of low probability of survival, physician perception of patient preference to limit life support, organ dysfunction, medical diagnosis and age.

Journal ArticleDOI
Back-Translation for Cross-Cultural Research
TL;DR: The authors investigated factors that affect translation quality and how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated through an analysis of variance design, and concluded that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target translations are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substituted judgment: how accurate are proxy predictions?
TL;DR: Results cast doubt on the usefulness of a strict substituted judgment standard as an approach to medical decision making for patients with diminished mental capacity.

TL;DR: While ICU health care workers consistently identify a number of patient factors as important in decisions to withdraw care, there is extreme variability, which may be explained in part by the values of individual health care providers.

Patient-proxy response comparability on measures of patient health and functional status
TL;DR: Although proxies who report the greatest contact with patients respond most comparably to the patients, when they do disagree, proxies with the greatest patient contact tend to overestimate patient disability.
