Introduction: Our goal was to develop and validate an index to predict in-hospital mortality in older adults after non-traumatic emergency department (ED) intubations.Methods: We used Vizient administrative data from hospitalizations of 22,374 adults > 75 years who underwent non-traumatic ED intubation from 2008-2015 at nearly 300 U. S. hospitals to develop and validate an index to predict in-hospital mortality. We randomly selected one half of participants for the development cohort and one half for the validation cohort. Considering 25 potential predictors, we developed a multivariable logistic regression model using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method to determine factors associated with in-hospital mortality. We calculated risk scores using points derived from the final model's beta coefficients. To evaluate calibration and discrimination of the final model, we used Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square test and receiver-operating characteristic analysis and compared mortality by risk groups in the development and validation cohorts.Results: Death during the index hospitalization occurred in 40% of cases. The final model included six variables: history of myocardial infarction, history of cerebrovascular disease, history of metastatic cancer, age, admission diagnosis of sepsis, and admission diagnosis of stroke/intracranial hemorrhage. Those with low-risk scores (< 6) had 31% risk of in-hospital mortality while those with high-risk scores (> 10) had 58% risk of in-hospital mortality. The Hosmer-Lemeshow chi-square of the model was 6.47 (p= 0.09), and the c-statistic was 0.62 in the validation cohort.Conclusion: The model may be useful in identifying older adults at high risk of death after ED intubation.
