The first PC encounter was in median 5 (interquartile range [IQR] 1\u201314) days after ICU admission with an ICU length of stay of 11 (IQR 5\u201326) days. ICU mortality was 77.2%, hospital mortality 87.6% with 11.6% of all patients were admitted to PC unit. While ICU teams predominantly saw malignancy, lack of curative treatment options and the need to care for next-of-kin as PC triggers, the PC teams mainly the need to care for next-of-kin and symptom burden. In the surgical ICU, malignancy was more often present as a trigger (maximum standardized mean difference [mSMD]: 0.676), for the medical ICU no curative options (mSMD: 0.256) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mSMD: 0.375). Symptom assessment regarding pain (mSMD: 0.676), depressive mood (mSMD: 0.552) and dyspnea (mSMD: 0.468) differed between ICU populations. 28.6% of patients had advance directives (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.16 between ICUs), 48.1% a power of attorney (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.22 between ICUs).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this pandemic-era cohort, ICU patients receiving specialist PC showed high mortality and symptom burden but differed regarding PC triggers and symptom assessments between ICUs.
