Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Hospitalization Outcomes by Palliative Care Utilization and Trends Among Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer in the United States.
Purpose: We examined the trends in palliative care utilization, racial/ethnic disparities in hospitalization outcomes among adult women with a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), and effect modification by palliative care utilization.
Methods: Retrospective cohort analyses were conducted using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality sponsored Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project-National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2020. Regression analyses were used to evaluate palliative care trends, and the association between race/ethnicity and in-hospital mortality, length of stay, total hospital charges, and discharge disposition. Stratified analyses were conducted by palliative care use.
Results: Palliative care consultations in the study population increased from 16.4% in 2016 to 20.3% in 2020. Black (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.25 [95% CI, 1.16 to 1.34]) and Hispanic (AOR, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.01 to 1.23]) female patients with MBC had higher in-hospital mortality compared with the White patients. Among those who received palliative care, Blacks had similar odds (AOR, 1.08 [95% CI, 0.97 to 1.20]) of in-hospital mortality when compared with Whites. Black women were more likely to have longer hospital stays relative to White women. Although Black women had similar odds (AOR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.92 to 1.04]) of discharge to a short-term/skilled nursing facility versus routine discharge compared with White women, Blacks who received palliative care had 19% (95% CI, 0.70 to 0.95) lower odds of discharge to a facility.
Conclusion: Our findings emphasize the importance of palliative care use among patients with MBC and highlight the need to raise awareness of its benefits, especially in minority populations. Further studies are needed to explore ways to narrow the gap in existing disparities and to test these interventions on care metrics and patient outcomes.
