Do high-volume centers mitigate complication risk and reduce costs associated with performing pancreaticoduodenectomy in ethnic minorities? - 15/06/21

Introduction |
Few studies examine the impact of ethnicity on post-operative outcomes and costs associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
Methods |
Multivariable regression (MVR) was used to perform a risk-adjusted comparison of patients within the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Databases undergoing PD.
Results |
4742 patients underwent PD. 3871 (81%) were white, 456 (10%) black, and 415 (9%) Hispanic. Black and Hispanics were less likely than whites to undergo PD in high volume centers. Blacks and Hispanics had a higher risk of select post-operative complications, prolonged lengths of stay, and high-cost outliers. When PDs done in high volume centers were evaluated separately, blacks and Hispanics had a lower adjusted-risk of any serious morbidity (OR 0.44, 95% CI [0.33, 0.57], OR 0.56, 95% CI [0.43, 0.73]) than whites but costs for PD among the three ethnic groups were statistically identical.
Conclusion |
Racial and ethnic minorities undergoing PD are less likely to receive care at high-volume centers, are at an increased risk of post-operative morbidity, and have higher odds of being high-cost outliers than NHW.
