Abstract

Introduction: The authors compared the availability of integrative medicine therapies in National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers and community hospitals. Methods: The authors reviewed 51 Comprehensive Cancer Center and 100 community hospital websites and collected race and median household income data for community hospital populations. Results: Availability of acupuncture (56% vs. 76.5%, p = 0.01), meditation (63% vs. 82.4%, p = 0.02), and music therapy (55% vs. 74.5%, p = 0.02) was significantly lower at community hospitals compared with Comprehensive Cancer Centers. Integrative medicine availability was also significantly lower in community hospitals serving lower-income populations. Conclusion: Equitable access to evidence-based integrative medicine in community hospitals is needed.

国家癌症研究所指定的综合癌症中心和社区医院的综合医学疗法的可用性。

作者比较了美国国家癌症研究所指定的综合癌症中心和社区医院中西医结合疗法的可用性。方法:作者查阅了51家综合癌症中心和100家社区医院网站，收集了社区医院人群的种族和家庭收入中位数数据。结果:针灸(56%比76.5%，p = 0.01)、冥想(63%比82.4%，p = 0.02)和音乐治疗(55%比74.5%，p = 0.02)在社区医院的可用性明显低于综合癌症中心。在为低收入人群服务的社区医院中，中西医结合的可用性也明显较低。结论:需要在社区医院公平获取循证中西医结合。
