Second, Weng and colleagues [61] conducted an anonymous survey of the attitude of Chinese intensivists toward end-of-life care in the ICU. Although no list of Chinese intensivists exists, they used an innovative snowball method to identify 534 potential participants from 21 regions in China. The response rate was 59%. The authors found that approximately 60% of physicians reported admitting patients with very poor prognosis to the ICU, and only 19% reported giving complete information to the patients and their families. The use of donot-resuscitate orders or the limitation of life-sustaining therapy in terminally ill patients was uncommon. Interestingly, the authors compared their results to studies using the same survey in Hong Kong and in Europe. Intensivists in China were equally likely to admit patients with poor prognosis to the ICU as those in Hong Kong and Europe, but were less likely to report withholding or withdrawing life support.
