Overview

Retrospective cohort study evaluates tracheostomy outcomes by race, highlighting disparities over time.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate racial differences in tracheostomy outcomes and temporal trends from 2018 to 2022.
  • Conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample (2018–2022).
  • Included adult patients undergoing tracheostomy.
  • Used multivariable regression to adjust for demographic, socioeconomic, hospital-level, procedural, and comorbidity covariates.
  • Among 488,745 admissions, length of stay and time to tracheostomy increased across all racial groups (all p < 0.001).
  • Black patients experienced lower odds of in-hospital mortality (OR: 0.93; p = 0.001), while Hispanic patients had higher odds (OR: 1.12; p < 0.001).
  • Disparities remained stable for Black patients but widened for Hispanic patients over time.
