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%) Downar et al.

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 cfhi-fcass.ca 7 @cfhi_fcass
Study Plan › Mixed-methods pilot (pre- and post-) • Feasibility and acceptability o Notification o Threshold (sensitive vs. specific) • Quantitative- PC consultation, family meetings, ”DNR” • Qualitative- Interviews and ethnography cfhi-fcass.ca 8 @cfhi_fcass
Stories of Impact – Providers › “I think it would be very useful › “It’s a reminder. It’s not a command.... As because…sometimes in the busyness of long as it’s not mandated, I think it’s a things this gets overlooked….There are a very good thing to have a reminder. I lot of complex cases, and sometimes it’s know from my own practice, it’s not challenging to put it all together and to necessarily a matter of changing get a good sense of prognosis…. So this behaviour but reminding you that the way the information is getting fed to you behaviour is appropriate now. Because automatically. I think that that would be now it’s hit and miss because sometimes very helpful.” you forget.” cfhi-fcass.ca 9 @cfhi_fcass
Story of Impact – Practical Use Qualitative Interviews › 44 eligible patients screened › 21 enrolled and interviewed › Conceptual saturation…in 5 half-days (!) cfhi-fcass.ca 10 @cfhi_fcass
Results and Impact › Specific threshold • Sens 59%, Spec 90% • LR+ 5.9, LR- 0.46 • Site #1- 19 pts/d (15.8% of admissions) • Site #2- 7 pts/d (12.2% of admissions) cfhi-fcass.ca 11 @cfhi_fcass
Assets and Barriers › Barriers • Technical/coordination challenges • Reliability/accuracy of administrative data • Acceptability › Assets • Broad multi-stakeholder support- Decision Support, IT, clinicians, patients • Funders- CFN, Associated Medical Services Inc. • Partners S Style Sheet cfhi-fcass.ca 12 @cfhi_fcass
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 cfhi-fcass.ca 13 @cfhi_fcass
