Fig 3

Decision curves showing the clinical usefulness of SAPS II to predict ICU mortality according to major reason for ICU admission: (a) cardiogenic shock, (b) hypovolemic shock, (c) septic shock, (d) coma and (e) respiratory distress syndrome. Solid black line represents the net benefit of applying palliative care for no patients, assuming that all patients would be alive. Solid gray line represents the net benefit of applying palliative care for all patients, assuming that all would die. Dashed line represents the net benefit of applying palliative care to patients according to SAPS II.
