OBJECTIVE: Understanding which factors are associated with the use of critical care therapies (CCTs) can help with clinical decision-making and goals of care discussion. The goal of this study was to describe the predictors of @entity6852 use (eg, mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, percutaneous @entity5274 , total parenteral nutrition, acute use of dialysis) in hospitalized @entity1 with @entity5 . METHODS: We used the 2010 California State Inpatient Databases sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to identify all hospitalizations with a diagnosis of @entity5 ( @entity1 aged >= 18 years). We examined the predictors of any @entity6852 use (and invasive mechanical ventilation [IMV] use), stratified by do-not-resuscitate (DNR) status, using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: We identified 99,085 hospitalizations involving @entity1 with @entity5 ; 9.4% received any CCTs and 4.7% received IMV. Predictors of @entity6852 use in the no-DNR group included principal @entity281 (vs cancer-related), greater burden of comorbidities, and presence of @entity353 . Predictors of @entity6852 use in the DNR group were similar, but also included non-white races. @entity409 was also a predictor of IMV use in the no-DNR group. @entity1 with @entity2 (vs breast and genitourinary) with no DNR were more likely to receive @entity6852 (and IMV). CONCLUSIONS: Higher burden of comorbidities, @entity353 , @entity409 , @entity2 subtype, and @entity281 were associated with higher odds of receiving CCTs or IMV. These findings may help clinicians determine in whom to prioritize discussions around goals of care, especially in the group without a DNR status.
