Prophecy 2

Does a DNR order change care—or record a decision already underway?

A deliberate fork back to the DNR question. We distinguish DNR-only from DNR/DNI, reconstruct the order timeline, measure changes in non-CPR care, and test where causal interpretation fails.

RESEARCH RELEASE / 2026-10-25

What does a DNR order actually change?

A new DNR-only order is followed by changes in ventilation and monitoring, but these associations are weaker under stricter overlap restrictions, while a profound short-term mortality gap remains. We cannot attribute deaths or treatment withdrawal to the DNR order itself.
