Are Readmissions to the Intensive Care Unit a Useful Measure of Hospital Performance
BACKGROUND: Although patients readmitted to intensive care units (ICUs) typically have poor outcomes, ICU readmission rates have not been studied as a measure of hospital performance. OBJECTIVES: To determine variation in ICU readmission rates across hospitals and associations of readmission rates with other ICU-based measures of hospital performance. RESEARCH DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SUBJECTS: One hundred three thousand nine hundred e…
Increased Risk of Death in Patients With Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders
BACKGROUND: Whereas studies have shown higher mortality rates in patients with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders, most have not accounted for confounding factors related to the use of DNR orders and/or factors related to the risk of death. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between the use of DNR orders and in-hospital mortality, adjusting for severity of illness and other covariates. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PATIENTS: There were 1…
Associations Between the Use of Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders and Length of Stay in Patients With Stroke
OBJECTIVES: The study sought to describe the association between do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders and length of hospital stay (LOS), and how the association varies according to in-hospital mortality, timing of the DNR order, and admission severity of illness. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort analysis involving standardized review of patients' medical records. The study was performed at 30 acute care hospitals in a large metrop…
