Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study tested the hypothesis that patients without placement of new do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders during the first 5 days after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have lower 30-day mortality than predicted by the ICH Score without an increase in severe disability at 90 days. METHODS: This was a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study at 4 academic medical centers and one community hospital. Adults (18 years or older) with nontraumatic spontaneous ICH, Glasgow Coma Scale score of 12 or less, who did not have preexisting DNR orders were included. RESULTS: One hundred nine subjects were enrolled. Mean age was 62 years; median Glasgow Coma Scale score was 7, and mean hematoma volume was 39 cm(3). Based on ICH Score prediction, the expected overall 30-day mortality rate was 50%. Observed mortality was substantially lower at 20.2%, absolute average difference 29.8% (95% confidence interval: 21.5%-37.7%). At 90 days, 27.1% had died, 21.5% had a modified Rankin Scale score = 5 (severe disability). A good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-3) was achieved by 29.9% and an additional 21.5% fell into the moderately severe disability range (modified Rankin Scale score = 4). CONCLUSIONS: Avoidance of early DNR orders along with guideline concordant ICH care results in substantially lower mortality than predicted. The observed functional outcomes in this study provide clinicians and families with data to determine the appropriate goals of treatment based on patients' wishes.
