For CPR or Not-For-CPR? Demographic Factors Predict Resuscitation Order Documentation and CPR Status in General Surgery Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo improve healthcare equity, this study aimed to determine which demographic factors are associated with resuscitation order documentation and not-for-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) status in general surgery patients.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients admitted under general surgical services of two hospitals in South Australia over 2 years. Logistic regression evaluated associations between demographic factors, and resuscitation order documentation and not-for-CPR status.
results12 846 patients were included, with 1853 (14.4%) having documented resuscitation orders. Of those with resuscitation orders, 964 (52.0%) were for CPR in cardiac arrest. Increased age (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.04-1.05, p < 0.001), increased Charlson comorbidity index (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.13-1.17, p < 0.001) and lower socioeconomic status (OR 0.997, 95% CI 0.995-0.999, p = 0.008) were associated with a greater likelihood of having a resuscitation order documented. Female sex (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60-0.95, p = 0.016), increased age (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.91-0.93, p < 0.001), and Charlson comorbidity index (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86-0.92, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with being not-for-CPR. Having a resuscitation order documented (OR 18.0, 95% CI 10.9-29.7, p < 0.001) and being not-for-CPR (OR 20.7, 95% CI 10.0-42.8, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Having a specified religion was associated with an OR of 1.29 for being for CPR (95% CI 1.02-1.62, p = 0.032).
conclusionThis study demonstrated that multiple demographic factors predict resuscitation order documentation and content in general surgery patients, including which patients are not-for-CPR. These findings may improve equity in care for general surgery patients in clinical deterioration and end-of-life situations.
