| Number of changes≠ | CPR at admission | DNR at admission | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | % | N | % | |
| 0 | 31,036 | 55.43 | 57,372 | 92.16 |

| 9 | 1 | 0.00 | 0 | 0.00 |
| 12 | 0 | 0.00 | 1 | 0.00 |
| Total | 55,996 | 100.00 | 62,251 | 100.00 |
When the number of changes is greater than 1 it means that the patient had multiple changes between CPR and DNR status. For example, if the number of changes is 4 and the patient entered as CPR, then we observed in the data the following sequence for this patient: CPR, DNR, CPR, DNR, CPR.
