Abstract
Background: The impact of palliative care consultation on the management and outcomes of patients hospitalized with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poorly understood. This study examined associations between palliative care consultation and in-hospital outcomes of patients hospitalized with OHCA, stratified by survival status.
Method: This cross-sectional study used data from the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2021). Adult patients hospitalized with OHCA who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation were included. Multivariable analyses assessed associations between palliative care consultation and outcomes in non-terminal and terminal OHCA hospitalizations, adjusting for demographics, hospital characteristics, and comorbidities.
Results: Among 488,700 OHCA hospitalizations, palliative care consultation was associated with lower odds of invasive procedures in non-terminal hospitalizations, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (aOR 0.30, 95 % CI 0.25-0.36), mechanical circulatory support (aOR 0.54, 95 % CI 0.44-0.68), permanent pacemaker (aOR 0.27, 95 % CI 0.20-0.37), implantable cardioverter defibrillator insertion (aOR 0.22, 95 % CI 0.16-0.31), and cardioversion (aOR 0.62, 95 % CI 0.55-0.70). In terminal hospitalizations, palliative care was associated with lower odds of PCI (aOR 0.78, 95 % CI 0.70-0.87) and cardioversion (aOR 0.91, 95 % CI 0.85-0.97), but higher odds of therapeutic hypothermia (aOR 3.12, 95 % CI 2.72-3.59), gastrostomy (aOR 1.22, 95 % CI 1.05-1.41), and renal replacement therapy (aOR 1.19, 95 % CI 1.12-1.26). Palliative care was associated with higher DNR utilization in both subgroups and lower hospital costs in non-terminal hospitalizations but higher costs in terminal hospitalizations.
Conclusion: Palliative care consultation in OHCA is associated with differences in invasive procedures, DNR utilization, and hospital costs, varying by survival status.
