What this Trial Is About

This study is to better understand the use of advance directives, their implementation in the intensive care unit, and their effects on outcome. Data from the digital medical records of all consecutive adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit at the University Hospital Basel from 2011 to 2023 are retrospectively extracted. Descriptive analyses will be applied to report the proportion of patients with an advance directive. In-hospital outcome (defined as survival, Glasgow Outcome Score, and return of neurologic function to premorbid baseline) will be compared between patients with and without advanced directives
