dc.description.abstract | Purpose: There is a lack of research focused on understanding the differences in the healthcare utilization of lung cancer patients between ethnic groups. This study aims to characterize disparities in healthcare utilization for Hispanic lung cancer patients compared to non-Hispanic patients. Methods: National Inpatient Sample was used to identify nationwide lung cancer patients (n=141,675, weighted n=702,878) from 2010 to 2014. We examined the characteristics of the study sample by race (Hispanic vs non-Hispanic) and its association with healthcare utilization, measured by discounted hospital charges and length of stay. Multivariate survey regression models were used to identify predictors by racial groups. Results: Among 702,878 lung cancer patients, 5.1% were Hispanic. Descriptive statistics showed that Hispanics have higher hospital charges and length of stay. Survey regression results also suggested that Hispanic lung cancer patients were associated with higher hospital charges (26.6%) and length of stay (3.5%) than non-Hispanic lung cancer patients. Subgroup analysis displayed a similar trend to the full model. Conclusion: Healthcare utilization disparities may exist for lung cancer Hispanic patients due to insurance status and early detection. Thus, our findings support providing financial assistance and targeted programs for minority patients. Future health policy consideration should be given to those vulnerable populations where limited healthcare resources are available. | - |
