An interesting article in the American Journal of Bioethics (with a set of accompanying commentaries). The authors review a Canadian futility dispute and a policy developed by the College of Physicians and surgeons in Manitoba. They argue that the doctors' attempt to withdraw treatment and the new guidelines were contrary to the principle of autonomy, culturally insensitive, and flawed because of prognostic uncertainty.
20. Pope TM. The case of Samuel Golubchuk: the dangers of judicial deference and medical self-regulation. Am J Bioeth 2010;10:59-61. In this article, Thaddeus Pope disagrees with Jotkowitz et al. on the legal principle of patient autonomy and argues that there is a need for an independent dispute resolution process when (as is often the case) futility disputes are religiously motivated.

Surrogates were asked about their views of the accuracy of physician's futility predictions. A modified time trade-off technique was used to assess the probability of death (predicted by doctors) at which they would be willing to withdraw life support.

A systematic review including 92 articles that presented outcome data in critically ill or cardiac arrest patients and that claimed that this data supported or refuted a judgement of 'futility'. The authors looked at the criteria used for judging futility and the point estimates for mortality (with confidence intervals) based on the presented data. There was statistical overlap between data used to support and data used to refute claims of futility.

However, it is not possible to concisely set out the criteria for futility, as the goals of medicine cannot to be reduced to a simple algorithm.
