“…This nding is consistent with reports of improved outcomes for patients with limitations of life sustaining therapies in other recent studies. In a prospective observational study of 22 European ICUs, signi cantly more patients had limitations in life-sustaining therapies occurred signi cantly, while death without limitations in life-sustaining therapies occurred signi cantly less frequently, in 2015-2016 compared with 1999-2000 [3]. Consistent with our ndings, overall survival in patients with treatment limitations was better in the 2015-6 cohort (20.4%) compared to the 1999-2000 cohort (5.5%).…”

“…La question des aidants issus de l’entourage et de leurs dévouements futurs se pose aussi et doit être intégrée dans les raisonnements médicaux. Enfin, dans les réanimations européennes, les progrès techniques des soins intensifs font que le pourcentage de décès succédant à des décisions de limitation de soins ou de fin de vie est proche de 90 % [26] . Il est nécessaire de construire un réel climat de confiance entre équipe médicale et entourage pour mener à bien une réflexion et construire des décisions adaptées.…”
