baseline data such as age, ICU admission date, admission diagnosis,
spiritual beliefs and APACHE II score. Information on advanced life
supports administered during the ICU stay was also recorded along with
patient final status including the location and date of death. The
process of enrollment in the 3WP was collected including the reason for
enrollment, project initiation and wish details (wish category,
completion, costs and implementation). Wishes were classified into 11
categories.10 Other consultations including spiritual
care, palliative care and social work involvement was also recorded, as
