Summary

This study looked at how often family members and doctors disagree about decisions to limit life-sustaining treatments in the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers observed 429 adult ICU patients in France whose treatment was being limited. The goal was to measure the frequency and level of disagreement between relatives and physicians, since such conflicts are becoming more common but are not well documented.
