Using a retrospective cohort design, we analyzed 1,577 OHCA cases from five counties in 2010, linking them to the statewide Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) registry. Logistic regression identified factors associated with having a POLST form. Among 82 patients with POLST documentation, those with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders received significantly fewer interventions compared to those with resuscitation orders, including field resuscitation (22% vs. 84%), ED transport (12% vs. 63%), and hospital admission (6% vs. 38%). Older age, non-white race, and non-private residence were associated with POLST presence. Findings indicate that emergency care generally honors documented end-of-life preferences, supporting the effectiveness of statewide POLST programs in guiding care during critical illness. 000000939 540__ $$fCC BY 000000939 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000939 650__ $$aResuscitation$$025379 000000939 650__ $$aAdvance Directives$$028977 000000939 650__ $$aEmergency Medical Services$$018348 000000939 650__ $$aEthics$$018684 000000939 650__ $$aCritical Illness$$029279 000000939 650__ $$aOut-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest$$039322 000000939 650__ $$aRetrospective Studies$$025415 000000939 650__ $$aResuscitation Orders$$029134 000000939 650__ $$aAdvance Directives$$028977 000000939 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000000939 6531_ $$acardiac resuscitation 000000939 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000939 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000939 7001_ $$aRichardson, Derek$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000939 8564_ $$987e62345-d924-4c98-a216-a0d786654e55$$s220637$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/939/files/942_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$26dbf50032f9b6962af2e78d46f79b257$$31 000000939 905__ $$a/rest/prod/pk/02/c9/73/pk02c973d 000000939 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:939$$pstudent-work 000000939 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
