life-threatening chronic conditions and their families with current
classifications and data.
• To examine if an ICP can be robustly applied cross-nationally to map
differences in preferences, places of care and places of death. In doing so,
we pave the way for future use in global measurement.
• To deepen understanding of the different pathways and transitions that are
meaningful for individuals in caring environments, and their influencing
factors
