Evaluation of an initiative to improve advance care planning for a home-based primary care service

Table 5 Logistic Regression, Adjusted Odds Ratios for Factors Associated with Expressed Preferences Among HomeViVE Home-Based Primary Care Patients (N = 236)

Do-not-resuscitate preference	Adjusted OR (95% CI)^a
After period^b	0.87 (0.35, 2.15)
Age	1.09 (1.02, 1.17)
Male	0.91 (0.36, 2.33)
Osteoporosis	4.61 (1.02, 20.92)
Do-not-hospitalize preference	Adjusted OR (95% CI)^a
After period^b	3.14 (1.78, 5.55)
Age	1.04 (1.00, 1.09)
Male	1.44 (0.79, 2.63)
Arthritis	0.50 (0.27, 0.90)

HomeViVE – Home Visits for Vancouver’s Elders home-based primary care program; OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval
^aOther variables tested for significance in univariate logistic regression analyses for DNR preference included: English is main language spoken; dementia diagnosis; arthritis; congestive heart failure; stroke; advanced frailty. Other variables tested for significance for DNH preference included: English as main language spoken; dementia diagnosis; osteoporosis; congestive heart failure; stroke; advanced frailty. Stepwise multiple logistic regression models included any variables that were significant in univariate logistic regression analysis (p < .05) but were removed from model if they did not remain significant. Final models were adjusted for age and sex regardless of significance
^bAfter period variable is a binary variable that records whether patient is enrolled in before period (active patients enrolled in program prior to June 20, 2017) or the after period (new consecutive patients enrolled in program between October 1, 2017 and May 1, 2018)
