A Danish version of the Near-Death Experience Content Scale was tested with cardiac-arrest survivors. The overall score showed strong internal consistency, while some aspects of its factor structure remained uncertain.

Method and scope

A register-based survey invited 2,262 survivors; 226 completed the scale. Researchers assessed reliability and the proposed five-factor structure.

What to keep in mind

Response and completion rates limit representativeness. The authors caution against confident interpretation of individual subscales before larger validations.
