METHODS: A retrospective chart review was completed of patients who had a urinary diversion from September 2020 to January 2023. A total of 140 patients were included in this study. The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used as a proxy for socioeconomic status (SES) and Kaplain meier curve was used to analyze time to readmission. ADI was collected through the utilization of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health's Neighborhood Atlas (https://www.neighborhoodatlas.medicine.wisc.edu/). RESULTS: The patients represented a diverse socioeconomic cohort with the number of patients per ADI quartile being 23, 45, 48 and 28 respectively. Table 1 illustrates patient demographics by ADI quartiles. On analysis of the four ADI groups, gender (p=.044) and pack years (p=.004), were significantly different amongst the four groups. ADI-1 smoked a median of 10 pack years compared to ADI-2 with 36, ADI-3 with 30, and ADI-4 with 7. Figure 1 shows time from urinary diversion to readmission using the Kaplan Meier curve stratified by ADI quartile. Graphically, we saw a divergence into two groups with ADI-1 correlating more closely with ADI-4 and ADI-2 correlating more closely to ADI-3. CONCLUSIONS: Our observed trend is thought provoking as our a priori hypothesis was the highest SES would have the lowest readmission rate. Previous studies have reported ADI and its association with poorer prognosis and overall outcomes when comparing the fourth ADI quartile to those in the first quartile. Our results are limited due to smaller sample size but has the strengths of being more generalizable with baseline disease heterogeneity, and diversions for both benign and malignant cause. Our work raises the question of whether there is a protective effect for those in more moderate SES.
