About The Study: In this cohort study of U.S. adult trauma patients who were critically injured, patients who were uninsured underwent earlier withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy compared with those with private or Medicaid insurance. Based on the findings of this study, a patient's ability to pay was likely associated with a shift in decision-making for withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy, suggesting the influence of socioeconomics on patient outcomes.
