Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Long-Term Outcomes After Pediatric Tracheostomy

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether long-term outcomes after pediatric tracheostomy are impacted by neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage.

METHODS: A prospective cohort of children with tracheostomies was followed at an academic pediatric hospital between 2015 and 2020. Patients were grouped into low or high socioeconomic disadvantage using their neighborhood area deprivation index (ADI). Survival and logistic regression analyses determined the relationship between ADI group, decannulation, and mortality.

RESULTS: A total of 260 children were included with a median age at tracheostomy of 6.6 months (interquartile range [IQR], 3.9-42.3). The cohort was 53% male (N = 138), 55% White race (N = 143), and 35% Black or African American (N = 90). Tracheostomy was most frequently indicated for respiratory failure (N = 189, 73%). High neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage was noted for 66% of children (N = 172) and 61% (N = 158) had severe neurocognitive disability. ADI was not associated with time to decannulation (HR = 0.90, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.53-1.53) or time to death (HR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.49-1.72).

CONCLUSIONS: Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage was not associated with decannulation or mortality among children with a tracheostomy. These findings suggest that long-term outcomes after pediatric tracheostomy are less dependent on socioeconomic factors in an individual community.
