Objective: Predicting outcomes for critically ill patients is an important aspect of discussions with families in the intensive care unit. Our objective was to evaluate clinical intensive rare unit survival predictions and their consequences for mechanically ventilated patents.Design: Prospective cohort study.Setting: Fifteen tertiary care centers.Patients: Consecutive mechanically ventilated patients greater than or equal to18 yrs of age with expected intensive care unit stay greater than or equal to72 hrs.Interventions. We recorded baseline characteristics at intensive care unit admission. Daily we measured multiple organ dysfunction score (MODS), use of advanced life support, patient preferences for life support, and intensivist and bedside intensive care unit nurse estimated probability of intensive care unit survival.Measurements and Main Results. The 851 patients were aged 61.2 (+/-17.6, mean + SD) yrs with an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) 11 score of 21.7 (+/-8.6). Three hundred and four patients (35.7%) died in the intensive care unit, and 341 (40.1%) were assessed by a physician at least once to have a
