Multicenter StudyCAESAR: a new tool to assess relatives' experience of dying and death in the ICU.
To develop an instrument designed specifically to assess the experience of relatives of patients who die in the intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ The CAESAR score 21 days after death in the ICU is strongly associated with post-ICU burden in the bereaved relatives. The CAESAR score should prove a useful primary endpoint in trials of interventions to improve relatives' well-being.
