Identification of high mortality risk within 30 days may call attention to the need to have serious illness conversations, including the documentation of patient goals of care.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>OBJECTIVE To examine goals of care discussions (GOCDs) in a community hospital setting with patients identified as having a high risk of mortality by a machine learning mortality prediction algorithm.\u003Cbr>DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study took place at community hospitals within 1 health care system. Participants included adult patients with a high risk of 30-day mortality who were admitted to 1 of 4 hospitals between January 2 and July 15, 2021 . Patient encounters of inpatients in the intervention hospital where physicians were notified of the computed high risk mortality score were compared with patient encounters of inpatients in 3 community hospitals without the intervention (ie, matched control) .\u003Cbr>INTERVENTION Physicians of patients with a high risk of mortality within 30 days received notification and were encouraged to arrange for GOCDs.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>MAIN OUTCOMESAND MEASURES The primary outcome was the percentage change of documented GOCDs prior to discharge. Propensity-score matching was completed on apreintervention and postintervention period using age, sex, race, COVID-19 status, and machine learning-predicted mortality risk scores. A difference-in-difference analysis validated the results.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>RESULTS Overall, 537 patients were included in this study with 201 in the preintervention period (94 in the intervention group; 104 in the control group) and 336 patients in the postintervention period. The intervention and control groups included 168 patients per group and were well-balanced in age (mean [SD], 79.3 [9.60] vs 79.6 [9.21] years; standardized mean difference [SMD], 0.03), sex (female, 85 [51%] vs 85 [51%]; SMD, 0), race (White patients, 145 [86%] vs 144 [86%]; SMD 0.006), and Charlson comorbidities (median [range], 8 .00 [2 .00-15.0] vs 9.00 [2 .00 to 19.0]; SMD, 0.34) . Patients in the intervention group from preintervention to postintervention period were associated with being 5 times more likely to have documented GOCDs (OR, 5 .11 [95% CI, 1 .93 to 13 .42]; P = .001) by discharge compared with matched controls, and GOCD occurred significantly earlier in the hospitalization in the intervention patients as compared with matched controls (median, 4 [95% CI, 3 to 6] days vs 16 [95% CI, 15 to not applicable] days; P \u003C .001) . Similar findings were observed for Black patient and White patient subgroups.\u003Cbr>CONCLUSIONSAND RELEVANCE In this cohort study, patients whose physicians had knowledge of high-risk predictions fro","cbCaij05vZkM1ww9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij05vZkM1ww9","pdf",943795,1,14,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n## Importance\n## Objective\n## Design, Setting, and Participants\n## Intervention\n## Main Outcomes and Measures\n## Results\n## Conclusions and Relevance\n## Key Points","[{\"question\":\"What was the main objective of this cohort study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine goals of care discussions in community hospitals for patients identified as high mortality risk by a machine learning mortality prediction algorithm.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the intervention work in the intervention hospital?\",\"answer\":\"Physicians were notified when a patient had high risk of 30-day mortality, and they were encouraged to arrange goals of care discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings regarding goals of care discussions before discharge?\",\"answer\":\"Patients in the intervention group were associated with about five times higher likelihood of documented goals of care discussions by discharge, and GOCDs occurred earlier compared with matched controls.\"}]","Advanced Care Planning for Hospitalized Patients Following Clinician Notification of Patient Mortality by a Machine Learning Algorithm -
