However, the driving factors behind these disparities are unclear. The Child Opportunity Index was developed by diversitydatakids.org ( https://www.diversitydatakids.org/ ) in 2014 to cumulatively quantify social determinants of health in an index specifically tailored toward a pediatric population and organized by census tract. The Childhood Opportunity Index can be used to explore the relationship between a patient's socioeconomic background and disparities in osteosarcoma presentation, treatment, and outcomes.</p><p><strong>Question/purposes: </strong>Are differences in a child's Childhood Opportunity Index score associated with differences in (1) time from symptom onset to first office visit for osteosarcoma, (2) timing of chemotherapy or timing and type of surgical resection, or (3) initial disease severity, development of metastatic disease, or overall survival?</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective therapeutic study was conducted using data drawn from the institutional records of a large pediatric tertiary cancer center located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States from the years 2006 to 2022. Our main site is in an urban setting, with ample access to public transit. Patients were excluded from analysis if they were seeking a second opinion or our institution was not the main point of orthopaedic care (20% [45 of 223]). Of the remaining patients, those with incomplete electronic medical records (24% [43 of 178]), resided in an international country (5% [9 of 178]), presented after relapse (4% [8 of 178]), or lacked 2 years of follow-up at our institution (3% [5 of 178]) were excluded as well. A total of 113 pediatric patients (children younger than 18 years) met the inclusion criteria. The Child Opportunity Index is a composite index derived from three domains (education, health and environment, and social and economic) and 29 indicators within the domains that serve to capture the cumulative effect of disparities on child well-being. National Childhood Opportunity scores were collected and scored from 1 to 100. Each score represents an equal proportion of the US population of children 18 years of age or younger. A higher number indicates higher levels of socioeconomic opportunity. The overall Childhood Opportunity Index score was then broken down into three groups representative of the child's relative socioeconomic opportunity: lowest tertile for scores < 34, middle tertile for scores between 34 and 66, and highest tertile for scores > 66. Means, ranges, medians, IQRs, and percentages were used to describe the study sample.
