Statistical models predicting outcome after intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) include patients irrespective of do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) orders. We built a model to explore how the inclusion of patients with DNAR orders affects IPH prognostic models. Retrospective, observational cohort study from May 2001 until September 2003 University-affiliated tertiary referral hospital in Seattle, Washington 424 consecutive patients with spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhage We retrospectively abstracted information from medical records of IPH patients admitted to a single hospital. Using multivariate logistic regression of presenting clinical characteristics, but not DNAR status, we generated a prognostic score for favorable outcome (FO, defined as moderate disability or better at discharge). We compared observed probability of FO with that predicted, stratified by DNAR-status. We then generated a modified prognostic score using only non-DNAR patients. Records of 424 patients were reviewed: 44% had FO, 43% had a DNAR-order and 38% died in hospital. Observed and predicted probability of FO agreed well with all patients taken together. Observed probability of FO was significantly higher than predicted in non-DNAR patients and significantly lower in DNAR patients. Results were similar when applying a previously published and validated prognostic score. Our modified prognostic score was no longer pessimistic in non-DNAR patients, but remained overly optimistic in DNAR patients. Although our prognostic model was well calibrated when assessing all IPH patients, predictions were significantly pessimistic in patients without, and optimistic in those with DNAR orders. Such pessimism may drive decisions to make patients DNAR in whom a FO may have been possible, thereby creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. To be most useful in clinical decision-making, IPH prognostic models should be calibrated to large IPH cohorts in whom DNAR orders were not used.
