Geographic disparities in primary care physicians: Local impact on long-term outcomes in adult liver transplant recipients.
Background: Geographic inequities are known to affect access to liver transplant (LT); however, the impact of these disparities postoperatively remains unknown. We focus on primary care physicians (PCPs), as frequent managers of long-term LT recipient care.
Methods: Clinical data on adults undergoing liver-only transplant 2010-2021 were obtained from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and linked to zip code-based PCP density and social vulnerability index (SVI) data to quantify the impact of PCP density on graft and overall survival.
Results: 64,593 patients were divided into quintiles by PCP density. Compared to patients in the lowest PCP quintile, patients in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th quintiles had 6%-8% lower mortality risk (HR3rd = 0.94, HR4th = 0.92, HR5th = 0.94, p for trend = 0.002). PCP density remained significant after accounting for SVI and local surgeon and gastroenterologist availability (p = 0.002).
Conclusions: Increased PCP availability is associated with improved survival, emphasizing the importance of establishing longitudinal care.
