Multivariable Models for the Association Between ADL Limitations, Cognitive Impairment, Depression and EOL Care (N = 420)
| End of life care measure, OR (95% CI) | Length of stay | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitalization | ICU | Ventilation | Ratio (95% CI) | |
| Help with ≥1 ADLs | 1.13 (0.68–1.88) | 1.39 (0.85–2.28) | 0.99 (0.54–1.81) | 1.22 (0.95–1.56) |
| Cognitive impairment | 0.75 (0.46–1.24) | 0.55 (0.33–0.91)* | 0.73 (0.39–1.36) | 0.77 (0.59–1.02) |
| Depression | 0.83 (0.49–1.40) | 0.96 (0.57–1.61) | 1.06 (0.55–2.03) | 1.11 (0.86–1.44) |
Note: ADL = activities of daily living; CI = confidence interval; EOL = end of life; ICU = intensive care unit; OR = odds ratio. Models controlled for year of death, age at death, gender, nativity, language of interview, education, marital status, living alone, and self-reported diabetes, heart failure, stroke, and cancer.
