Variables associated with having a code status other than full code. Logistic regression findings for our key associations for patients who have a code status of either do not resuscitate/do not intubate (DNR/DNI) or comfort measures only (CMO).
Univariable findings | Multivariable findings* | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Odds ratio (95% CI) | P value | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P value | |
White race (reference: non white) | 5.0 (3.8–6.7) | <.001 | 2.0 (1.1–3.8) | .03 |
ADI (per unit in the score) | 0.9 (0.9–1.0) | .03 | 1.2 (1.0–1.3) | .03 |
English primary language (reference: non-english) | 2.9 (2.1–4.1) | <.001 | 1.5 (0.8–3.0) | .24 |
Homelessness (reference: domiciled) | 0.2 (0.1–0.8) | .02 | 0.6 (0.1–3.3) | .55 |
Illicit drug use (opiates, cocaine, methamphetamines) (reference: no illicit drug use) | 0.5 (0.2–1.0) | .06 | 0.3 (0.1–1.4) | .13 |
ADI = area deprivation index, CI = confidence interval.
The regression model controlled for age, sex, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), D-dimer, ferritin, hypotension, oxygen requirement on hospital admission, endotracheal intubation during hospitalization, history of lung disease, history of diabetes, history of heart failure, and body mass index (BMI) > 30kg/m2.
