Preferred Language and Race Impact Code Status in Critically Ill Children
Children with NELP had higher odds of having a new DNR order placed in the PICU, whereas non-Hispanic Black patients had lower odds. NELP may be correlated with unmeasured illness severity, thereby confounding the relationship between language and probability of DNR. However, our data support that demographic factors, such as Black race, are strong predictors of a change in code status to DNR and time to DNR.
