Left Ventricular Assist Device Use in Minorities : An Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample

Copyright © ASAIO 2023..

Minorities are less likely to receive a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). This, however, is based on total implant data. By examining rates of LVAD implant among patients admitted with heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock, we sought to further elucidate LVAD utilization rates and racial disparities. Utilizing the National Inpatient Sample from 2013 to 2019, all patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock were included for analysis. Those who then received an LVAD during that hospitalization defined the LVAD utilization which was examined for any racial disparities. Left ventricular assist device utilization was low across all racial groups with no significant difference noted in univariate analysis. Non-Hispanic Blacks had the highest length of stay (LOS), the highest proportion of discharge to home (71.52%), and the lowest inpatient mortality (6.33%). Multivariable modeling confirmed the relationship between race and LOS; however, no differences were noted in mortality. Non-Hispanic Blacks were found to be less likely to receive an LVAD; however, when controlling for payer, median household income, and comorbidities, this relationship was no longer seen. Left ventricular assist devices remain an underutilized therapy in cardiogenic shock. When using a multivariable model, race does not appear to affect LVAD utilization.
