Brief summary

The hypothesis of the study is that a resuscitation order other than full code is associated with increased mortality among critically ill patients. By incorporating conventional variables associated with death such as age, sex, and Simplified Acute Physiological Score, as well as including the new Clinical Frailty Scale in a statistical model, the aim is to investigate whether there is still an increased risk of death that remains unexplained.

Interventions

OTHERResuscitation orders

Resuscitation orders, commonly referred to as Code Status, communicate to the healthcare team the specific medical interventions that patients will receive while hospitalised. These orders are issued by a doctor and require confirmation by at least one other licensed medical professional
