  • Note: CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

  • * One participant was excluded from this analysis because the orders in the medical record were unclear and could not be categorized.

  • Participants without an explicit order for the use or nonuse of CPR are categorized as having an order for CPR in this table since that is what an inpatient would receive by default in the absence of an order to the contrary.
