Adjustment for do-not-resuscitate orders reverses the apparent in-hospital mortality advantage for minorities Naomi Bardach, MD, Shoujun Zhao, MD, PhD, Steven Pantilat, MD, S. Claiborne Johnston, MD, PhD The American Journal of Medicine Volume 118, Issue 4, Pages 400-408 (April 2005) DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2005.01.008 Copyright © 2005 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Adjusted odds ratios for in-hospital mortality, women vs. men, in the 7 diagnostic groups and the total cohort before (gray) and after (black) inclusion of DNR status in the model. Odds ratios were consistently lower when DNR status was included in the model. DNR = do-not-resuscitate orders, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Figure 2 Adjusted odds ratios for in-hospital mortality, non-whites vs. whites, in the 7 diagnostic groups and the total cohort before (gray) and after (black) inclusion of DNR status in the model. Odds ratios were consistently greater when DNR status was included in the model. DNR = do-not-resuscitate orders, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
