Factors Associated with Time to Change of Resuscitation Code (Do-Not-Resuscitate) and Time to Death after a Stroke: Palliative Aspects from a Tertiary Center
Our findings suggest that decisions against resuscitation primarily result from collaboration between healthcare professionals and families, respecting patients' wishes, and were neither associated with comorbidities nor the severity of stroke. Every fifth patient was seen by a palliative care specialist, supporting the complex decision-making in this non-cancer population. .
