"After convening a group of critical care clinicians to determine a consensus definition of “futile treatment,” our research team analyzed nearly 7,000 daily assessments of more than 1,000 patients. We found that 11 percent received futile treatment, while an additional 9 percent received “probably futile” treatment. So physician-perceived futile critical care is indeed prevalent. But what about the cost?" -Neil S. Wenger, MD
