The “surprise question” for predicting death in seriously ill patients: a
systematic review and meta-analysis
James Downar MDCM MHSc, Russell Goldman MD MPH, Ruxandra Pinto PhD, Marina Englesakis MLIS, Neill K.J. Adhikari MDCM MSc

• 16 studies- 11621 patients
• Sensitivity 67%, Specificity 80.2%
• LR+ 3.4, LR- 0.41, PPV 37%
    • Better performance in cancer (LR+ 4.2)
    • Very poor in non-cancer (LR+ 2.7, LR- 0.53)
• Kappa poor to fair (0.18-0.41)
• High rates of positivity (up to 80%)

The Innovation
    › Hospital One-Year Mortality Risk (HOMR)
       • 12 administrative data points (9 routinely collected on admission)
       • Highly accurate (c=0.89-92), validated in multiple regions
    › Application to calculate for all inpatients
       • Reliable, Versatile, Auditable
    › Partnered with Decision Support, IT, frontline care providers
    › Electronic notification to treating team

Sustainability and Spread

     › Not expensive, low/zero maintenance once established
        • Similar EHRs at other hospitals
     › Adaptable to suit specific interventions
        • Clinical care, research, quality improvement
     › New sites/studies- The Ottawa Hospital, iDecide
     › New model- HOMR Now! (clinical data)
     › Future investigations depend on coupled intervention
