Notes: ICU = intensive care unit. DNR = do-not-resuscitate order. AOR = adjusted odds ratio. CI = confidence interval. Wald chi square tests compare the improvement in model fit when dementia or DNR are included in the model. Bolded values indicate p < 0.05. All models adjust for patient race/ethnicity, insurance status, sex, age at death, hospital of care, length of stay, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and year of death.
