Agreement of ethnicity reporting among patients with cancer with acute coronary syndrome: a national multiregistry analysis.
Key Result
Missing ethnicity data in patients with cancer and acute coronary syndrome was linked to higher cardiac or cancer mortality, indicating significant health disparities.
Key Points
- This research aims to analyze the agreement of ethnicity reporting among patients with cancer diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
- Analyses conducted across four national datasets
- Evaluation of ethnicity coding accuracy
- Assessment of mortality outcomes related to missing ethnicity data
- Nearly half of patients had missing ethnicity data in at least one dataset
- Missing ethnicity data linked to higher cardiac and cancer mortality
- Inconsistent ethnicity coding hinders examination of health inequalities
Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients with cancer and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) across four national datasets
O
Outcome
Agreement of ethnicity reporting and its association with cardiac or cancer mortality
Inconsistent ethnicity reporting in national registries for cancer patients with ACS is common and associated with higher mortality, hindering the study of health inequalities.
Main Result
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Abstract
Across four national datasets for patients with cancer with ACS, nearly half of patients had missing ethnicity in at least one dataset, which was associated with higher cardiac or cancer mortality. Inconsistency in ethnicity coding represents a missed opportunity to examine health inequalities in this high-risk and understudied population.
