  • The FS-ICU 24 has two sections, one regarding satisfaction with decision making and the other regarding satisfaction with general ICU care.

  • Both subsections produce a composite subsection score graded from zero to 100, with the complete survey also producing a composite global score representing overall satisfaction. The P-values compare the mean scores for each subsection, as well as the composite score.

  • CMO, comfort measures only; FS-ICU 24, Family Satisfaction in the ICU 24-item survey; IQR, interquartile range; PCP, primary care physician; SD, standard deviation.
