Racial and Ethnic Differences Among Adult Patients Hospitalized for Skin and Soft Tissue Infection : A Cross-Sectional Analysis of 2012-2017 New York State Data
Copyright © 2023. Matrix Medical Communications. All rights reserved..
Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) can result in hospitalizations and lead to increased healthcare costs and morbidity. Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare access, utilization, and outcomes are well-documented. However, limited studies exist on racial and ethnic differences among adult patients hospitalized for SSTI. Our study utilized a large dataset from New York State to investigate such differences. Findings suggest that racial and ethnic minority patients hospitalized for SSTI are younger, primarily covered by Medicaid, and have a higher cost of hospitalization compared to White patients, even after controlling for length of stay and severity of illness. Possible explanations for these disparities include differences in comorbidities and structural vulnerabilities. Further studies are needed to elucidate potential causes of these disparities and their impact on clinical outcomes.
