まとめ
黒人脳卒中患者は,白人またはヒスパニック系患者よりも証拠に基づいたケアが少なく,潜在的に再発性脳卒中リスクを増加させました. しかし,脳卒中治療の質は,Get With The Guidelines-Strokeプログラムですべての人種グループで改善されました.
科学分野:
- 神経学 神経学とは
- 公衆衛生は公衆衛生である.
- 健康の平等,健康の平等について
背景:
- 以前の研究は,脳卒中治療における人種/民族の格差を示している.
- この研究では,品質改善プログラムの中で,黒人,ヒスパニック,白人患者の脳卒中治療の違いを調査しました.
研究 の 目的:
- 人種/民族が脳卒中治療の質に影響するかどうかを判断する.
- 脳卒中のパフォーマンス指標と入院死亡率の格差を分析する.
主な方法:
- Get With The Guidelines-Strokeプログラム (2003-2008) で1181の病院で397,257件の不血性脳卒中の入院を分析した.
- 病院での死亡率と7回の脳卒中による死亡率の比較,人種/民族によって階層化.
- 患者および病院レベルの変数に対する統計的調整.
主要な成果:
- 黒人の患者は,白人の患者と比較して,主要な脳卒中治療 (例えば,IV血栓溶解,DVT予防,禁煙) と脂質療法を受ける確率が低い.
- 黒人患者は,白人患者と比較して,入院死亡率も低かった.
- ヒスパニック系患者は,すべての指標において白人患者と同等のケアを受け,死亡率も同様であった.
- 黒人とヒスパニックの両方の患者は,白人患者よりも長い入院期間を経験しました.
- 研究期間中,すべての人種/民族のグループでケア品質が改善されました.
結論:
- 黒人脳卒中患者は,ヒスパニック系および白人患者と比較して,エビデンスベースのケアプロセスが少ない.
- これらの差異は,黒人患者の再発性脳卒中のリスクが高いことに寄与する可能性があります.
- Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Programは,時間の経過とともに,すべての人種/民族集団の脳卒中ケア品質の有意な改善を示しました.
