NCT ID NCT07405710
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using the word 'death' when asking patients about CPR affects their decisions. Researchers will invite 118 hospitalized adults over 65 to fill out electronic surveys about their code status. The goal is to see if different wording leads to different choices and to understand how doctors agree with those choices.
