摘要

背景:乳房再造方面持续存在的差异已被广泛记录在案,但在了解健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)对术后结果和并发症的影响方面仍存在巨大的研究差距:我们对 2018 年 8 月至 2022 年 12 月期间在一家种族、民族和社会经济多元化的城市学术机构接受腹部游离瓣乳房重建术的所有患者进行了回顾性病历审查,该机构的患者群体历来服务不足。患者按公共保险(医疗保险和医疗补助)与私人保险进行分层,作为 SDOH 的替代指标。比较了患者的人口统计学特征、住院时间(LOS)、术后恢复里程碑的进展时间和并发症:共纳入了 162 名患者,其中 57% 的患者参加了公共保险,这部分患者更有可能是西班牙裔(OR2.7;p=0.003)和讲西班牙语(OR3.4;p=0.003)。私人保险患者更有可能是非西班牙裔黑人(OR2.7;p=0.006)。公共保险患者在 90 天内计划外返回手术室的比例较高,并发症发生率也较高,但无统计学意义。他们的住院时间也明显长于私人保险患者(3.6±1.0 天 vs 3.0±0.7 天;P 结论:公共保险状况代表了在 SDOH 方面的劣势,它预示着显微外科乳房重建术后较长的 LOS 和术后恢复延迟。这突出表明,今后需要努力提高质量,以解决和减少这些差异。

Impact of Insurance Status on Postoperative Recovery after Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction.

Background:  Persistent disparities in breast reconstruction access have been widely documented, yet a significant research gap remains in understanding the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on postoperative outcomes and complications.

Methods:  A retrospective chart review was performed on all patients who underwent abdominal-based free-flap breast reconstruction between August 2018 and December 2022 at a racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse urban academic institute with a historically underserved patient population. Patients were stratified by the public (Medicare and Medicaid) versus private insurance as a proxy for SDOH. Patient demographics, length of stay (LOS), timing in progression through postoperative recovery milestones, and complications were compared.

Results:  A total of 162 patients were included, and 57% of patients had public insurance, with this group more likely to be Hispanic (odds ratio [OR] 2.7; p = 0.003) and Spanish-speaking (OR 3.4; p = 0.003). Privately insured patients were more likely to be non-Hispanic Black (OR 2.7; p = 0.006). Patients with public insurance had a higher rate of unplanned return to the operating room within 90 days and a higher incidence of complications, though not statistically significant. They also experienced a significantly longer LOS than privately insured patients (3.6 ± 1.0 vs. 3.0 ± 0.7 days; p < 0.0001). Logistic regression identified an LOS exceeding 3 days as independently associated with public insurance status (OR 3.0; p = 0.03), bilateral procedure (OR 5.6; p = 0.0007), preoperative functional-dependent status (OR 7.0; p = 0.04), and higher body mass index (BMI; OR 1.1; p = 0.03). Patients with public insurance were more likely to encounter delays in achieving recovery milestones.

Conclusion:  Public insurance status, serving as a proxy for a disadvantage in SDOH, is predictive of extended LOS and postoperative recovery delays following microsurgical breast reconstruction. This underscores the need for future quality improvement efforts to address and mitigate these disparities.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery is a peer-reviewed, indexed journal that provides an international forum for the publication of articles focusing on reconstructive microsurgery and complex reconstructive surgery. The journal was originally established in 1984 for the microsurgical community to publish and share academic papers. The Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery provides the latest in original research spanning basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations. Review papers cover current topics in complex reconstruction and microsurgery. In addition, special sections discuss new technologies, innovations, materials, and significant problem cases. The journal welcomes controversial topics, editorial comments, book reviews, and letters to the Editor, in order to complete the balanced spectrum of information available in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery. All articles undergo stringent peer review by international experts in the specialty.
