An Observation Of Racial Disparities In Patients Admitted With St Segment Elevated Myocardial Elevation
Abstract Body (Do not enter title and authors here): introduction This sudy explores the multifaceted nature of racial disparities among patients admitted with STEMI, shedding light on the complex interplay of social, economic, and healthcare factors that contribute to differential outcomes among diverse populations.
Methods we examined the national inpatient sample 2017-2020 for adult admitted with st segment myocardial infarction,we compared the clincal outcome based on racial distribution.STATA 18th edition was used for analyses. Age, gender, race, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, and Elixhauser comorbidity index were identified as confounders by univariate analyses and tested further with multivariate logistic regression models. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes were the need for intubation, cardiac arrest, length of stay (LOS), and total hospital charges.
Results There were 826315 hospitalizations with STEMI. Mean age was 64 yrs and 62% were male. Among the admitted patients, Caucasians were 593575 (72%), Blacks were 75025(9.1%),Hispanics were 69605(8.4%), Asians were 23734(2.9%). All-cause mortality in patients admitted with STEMI was 88125 where subgroup Analysis with Caucasians, Blacks ,Hispanics and Asians had 60074(10.1%) vs 9135 (12.1%) vs 7645(10.9%) and 2999(12.6%) respectively. Further subgroups analysis revealed that Blacks (13.9%, aOR 1.37 CI 1.28-1.47,P value<0.001) were more likely to require intubation,followed by Asians(13.5% aOR 1.59 CI 1.43--1.76, p value <0.001) ,then Hispanic (13% aOR 1.45,CI 1.35-1.56 P vale <0.001)and caucasians were least likely to require intubation(9.7% ) Finally, racial subgroup showed significant primary andsecondary outcomes that are presented in Table 1. Conclusion All obtained results revealed statistical significance and we considered Caucasian population as baseline. Mortality waa highest amongst Asians,followed by Blacks then Hispanics and least in the caucasian subgroup. Understanding these disparities is essential for improving healthcare equity and ensuring that all patients receive appropriate and equitable care regardless of their racial or ethnic background.
