Article Synopsis
- Women are more likely than men to establish "do not attempt resuscitation" (DNAR) orders after in-hospital cardiac arrest, with higher rates occurring within the first 12 and 72 hours post-resuscitation.
- Despite this higher utilization of DNAR among women, there is no significant difference in survival to hospital discharge between men and women after resuscitation.
- The findings suggest that while sex differences exist in the timing and frequency of DNAR orders, these do not translate into differences in survival outcomes after cardiac arrest.
