Measure Description
Time Frame
Recognition of palliative care unit patients before intensive care discharge
Time Frame: Fourth day of intensive care follow up
ENDING-S Scoring system used to predict patients who were followed up in intensive care units and discharged to palliative care unit during their hospitalization.
