Female sex, black ethnicity, and economic deprivation are independently associated with limited access to cardiac surgery and higher post-surgery mortality in England.
Lai et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Ischaemic heart disease and heart valve disease (n=292,140). Female sex, black ethnicity, and socioeconomic deprivation vs. Male sex, non-black ethnicity, and lesser deprivation was evaluated on Access to surgery, in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and hospital readmission. Female sex, black ethnicity, and economic deprivation were associated with significantly lower access to CABG and valve surgery (up to 59% less likely) and higher 1-year post-surgery mortality.
