| Abstract: | Very little is known about the provision of or the need for palliative care in the Middle East, including Jordan. This study investigated the mortality rate, demographics, and clinical attributes of patients with cancer who had died in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a national cancer center over a 3-year period in Jordan. We reviewed the records of 661 patients who had died and found that the majority of the people were terminally ill at the time of admission (had metastatic cancer, multisystem organ dysfunction, and seriously ill). This approach differs from the usual practice worldwide in which it is uncommon to admit patients with cancer to the ICU at the end of life. Improving end-of-life care in the ICUs in Jordan requires further exploration of the cultural context in which end-of-life care practice occurs in Jordan and developing a palliative care approach that fit with the Islamic and Arabic culture.
