Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether racial disparities in reconstruction in the United States vary by geographic region. The SEER database years 2000-2013 was queried for all mastectomies in women ages 20-85+. Logistic regression was used to examine the main effects and interaction of race and geographic region on reconstruction. Hot spot Analysis was used to examine clustering of reconstruction across counties by race. We found large regional variation in racial differences in the rate of immediate postmastectomy reconstruction. Understanding how racial disparities vary by region can identify important factors for intervention to reduce disparities in practice.
