Physicians State End-of-life Choices

Physicians stated their end-of-life choices in a recent study, specifying the range of treatments they preferred.  The results showed physicians fell into one of three groups regarding life-sustaining treatments, including:

(1) Physicians who would want most of the interventions, considered aggressive care (12 percent in 1999, and 14 percent in 2002).
(2) Physicians who would want intravenous fluids and antibiotics as the primary interventions, considered intermediate care (26 percent in 1999, and 26 percent in 2002).
(3) Physicians who would decline most interventions, considered the least aggressive care (62 percent in 1999, and 60 percent in 2002).

The rounded percentages, in scrambled order, were 62%, 13% and 26%.

Before reading the article, predict with percentage matches the three categories above.
