From: The Accuracy of Substituted Judgments in Patients with Terminal Diagnoses
Ann Intern Med. 1998;128(8):621-629. doi:10.7326/0003-4819-128-8-199804150-00002
Figure Legend:
Accuracy of substituted judgments according to diagnosis and scenario.PMean Surrogate Accuracy in Matching Patient Preferences Scale scores are given for three hypothetical scenarios. Responses of 50 surrogates
of 50 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (CA), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were scored. Scores of 50
general internal medicine (GIM) patients are also shown. Scores did not differ significantly by diagnosis. Overall accuracy was higher for the permanent coma scenario than for the small chance and severe dementia
scenarios ( = 0.001 by Friedman two-way analysis of variance).

Percentage of patients who would choose each intervention according to scenario and intervention.nPercentages are the proportion of patients ( = 300) who would choose the following interventions in three hypothetical
scenarios intensive care (ICU), ventilator treatment (Vent), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), feeding tube placement (Feed), surgery to fix a correctable problem (Surg), hemodialysis (Dial),
esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), nasotracheal suction (Suct), phlebotomy (Phlb), or chest roentgenography (CXR).
