Predicting Time to Death after Withdrawal of Life Sustaining Therapies

Investigators: Jason Shahin, McGill University Health Centre

Purpose: The primary objective of this sub-study is to develop a prediction model for predicting time to death within120 minutes from withdrawal of life sustaining measures (WLSM) among critically ill DCD eligible patients undergoing WLSM using commonly assessed objective clinical measures. The developed prediction model aims at generalizability and simplicity to enable clinical application in DCD eligible critically ill patients across institutions and countries with ease and accuracy.
