Family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. N Engl J Med 2013;368:1008-18.

Secondary outcomes included the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms in relatives, the effect of family presence on medical efforts at resuscitation, the well-being of the medical team, and the occurrence of medicolegal claims.
