A birth cohort study of subjects at risk of atopy: twenty-two-year follow-up of wheeze and atopic status.

abstract：:Many patients who develop incapacitating illness have not expressed clear treatment preferences. Therefore, surrogate decision makers are asked to make judgments about what treatment pathway is most consistent with the patient's values. Surrogates often struggle with such decisions. The difficulty arises because answe...
