概括
在COVID-19大流行期间,医疗必要和时间敏感 (MeNTS) 评分系统在手术优先考虑方面没有显示种族差异. 标准化得分可能有助于减少医疗保健决策中的偏见.
科学领域:
- 医疗保健中的差异
- 外科手术的优先安排.
- 医疗决策的制定能力
背景情况:
- 在手术护理中的种族差异是一个重大的问题,由与流行病相关的资源短缺加剧.
- 提供者偏见可能会影响医疗决策,影响公平获取程序.
- 美国外科医生学院开发了医学上必要和时间敏感 (MeNTS) 评分系统,以标准化非紧急但必要的手术的优先级.
研究的目的:
- 评估MeNTS评分系统在减少手术优先级的种族差异方面的有效性.
- 分析MeNTS系统的实施是否影响了COVID-19大流行期间不同种族和种族群体的手术时间.
主要方法:
- 一项回顾性横截面研究分析了2020年6月1日至2021年12月31日的电子医疗记录.
- 使用双变量和多变量分析来检查MeNTS得分的变化和基于患者种族和种族的手术时间.
- 该研究包括来自不同种族和民族背景的2997名患者.
主要成果:
- 在种族和民族之间没有观察到手术平均日数或MeNTS得分的统计学上显著差异.
- 一个多变量生存模型表明,较低的MeNTS得分 (低于30) 与接受手术的可能性更高有关.
- 在使用MeNTS系统时,分析发现基于种族,种族或性别的手术可能性没有显著差异.
结论:
- 根据MeNTS评分系统,在手术优先级上没有统计学上显著的种族差异.
- 这些发现表明,标准化评分系统可以成为有效的工具,减轻医疗决策中的潜在偏见.
