Declarations
:
: Participants were not subject to treatment or required to behave in a particular manner. Thus, the Medical Review Ethics Committee region Arnhem-Nijmegen concluded that the study was not subject to the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act and approved it (2020-7044). The local review committees of all participating hospitals also approved our study. All clinicians, ICU nurses and family members provided written consent, except for three family members who provided recorded verbal consent. Because some families were not yet aware of patients’ potential deaths and donation, clinicians a priori informed them that the research focused on general family conversations in the ICU instead of donor conversations specifically. Family verbal consent was obtained, followed by full information and written or recorded verbal consent several weeks later.
: Not applicable.
: All authors have completed a disclosure form based on uniform ICMJE guidelines. As potential participants, donation intensivists did not have final decisional rights regarding the results and discussion sections of the manuscript. The authors have no competing interests to declare.
