Previous studies have identified obstacles when performing research in critically ill patients at intensive care units (ICU) related to challenges in the recruitment process [1] [2] [3] [4] . The legislation and clinical practice vary across the world, and a prior PubMed search did not disclose any resent Scandinavian research covering the overall barriers and challenges in the process of including critically ill patients in clinical studies. The purpose of this study was to identify practical, medical, legal or ethical barriers and challenges in the process of including critically ill patients in the Norwegian Intensive Care Unit Dalteparin Effect (NORIDES) study. The study revealed that most critically ill patients at ICU were unable to provide written, informed consent for study participation. ./cache/cord-026392-cvb44v5v.txt ./txt/cord-026392-cvb44v5v.txt
