This research aims to explore the relationship between socioeconomic disparities and biologic persistence in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Examined the association between socioeconomic status and biologic persistence in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Analyzed health care utilization related to biologic persistence, focusing on unplanned medical visits.
Utilized health records to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors on treatment outcomes.
Patients with low socioeconomic status were less likely to maintain biologic treatment.
Lack of biologic persistence was linked to an increase in unplanned health care visits for inflammatory bowel disease patients.
Abstract
Low socioeconomic status was associated with lower likelihood of biologic persistence and patients who lacked biologic persistence had greater IBD-related unplanned health care utilization.
