[Python] pynetdicom send_c_find How to get the output?

I am using pynetdicom library to get patient information and Orthanc as pac server

I have this code

from pydicom.dataset import Dataset

from pynetdicom import AE, debug_logger
from pynetdicom.sop_class import PatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModelFind

debug_logger()

ae = AE()
ae.add_requested_context(PatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModelFind)

# Create our Identifier (query) dataset
ds = Dataset()
ds.SOPClassesInStudy = ''
ds.PatientID = '123'
ds.PatientName = ''
ds.StudyInstanceUID = ''
ds.QueryRetrieveLevel = 'STUDY'
ds.StudyID= ''
ds.StudyDate= ''

# Associate with the peer AE at IP 127.0.0.1 and port 11112
assoc = ae.associate("127.0.0.1", 4242)
if assoc.is_established:
# Send the C-FIND request
responses = assoc.send_c_find(ds, PatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModelFind)

print(ds)
for (status, dataset) in responses:
if status:
print('C-FIND query status: 0x{0:04X}'.format(status.Status))
else:
print('Connection timed out, was aborted or received invalid response')

# Release the association
assoc.release()
else:
print('Association rejected, aborted or never connected')`
and the output is this:

only need to be able to save the StudyInstanceUID field, is this possible?

I tried using dataset but I got no results, I also read that c-find does not return data, but nevertheless I see people who use it and can obtain data
