TABLE 4.

Logistic regression, adjusted odds ratios for factors associated with a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) or Do Not Hospitalize (DNH) preference among home-based primary care patients (N=200) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (July 1 to September 30, 2017)

Factors associated with Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)a Adjusted OR (95% CI)b
Dementia diagnosis 4.79 (1.37, 16.71)
Age 1.14 (1.05, 1.24)

Factors associated with Do Not Hospitalize (DNH)c Adjusted OR (95% CI)b

English main language spoken (vs. non-English)d 3.42 (1.14, 10.20)
Age 1.17 (1.06, 1.28)
Male 4.19 (1.41, 12.42)
a

Other variables tested for significance in simple logistic regression analyses included: male, mental health diagnosis, osteoporosis diagnosis, kidney failure.

b

Multiple logistic regression models included any variables that were significant in simple logistic regression analysis (p < .05). Any variables that remained significant in the multiple logistic regression model at p < .05 were retained in the final model.

c

Other variables tested for significance in simple logistic regression analyses included: median months in home-based primary care program, patient clinician, congestive heart failure diagnosis, arthritis diagnosis.

d

Logistic regression models including English language spoken variable utilized a binary variable with categories: English vs. Non-English languages. Non-English languages include: Cantonese, Czech, Finnish, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Italian, Punjabi, Italian, Mandarin, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
