Table 3.

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.
