Abstract
Objective: To determine the impact of adverse social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH) on health care use in a safety-net community hospital (SNCH) heart failure (HF) population.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of HF patients at a single SNCH between 2018-2019 (N= 4594).
Results: At least one adverse SBDH was present in 21% of the study population. Patients with at least one adverse SBDH were younger (57 vs. 68 years), more likely to identify as Black (50% vs. 36%), be male (68% vs. 53%), and have Medicaid insurance (48% vs. 22%), p<.001. Presence of at least one adverse SBDH (homelessness, substance use, or incarceration) correlated with increased hospitalizations (2.3 vs 1.4/patient) and ED visits (5.1 vs 2.1/patient), p<.0001. Adverse SBDH were independent predictors of HF readmissions. Prescribing of guideline-directed medical therapy was similar among all patients.
Conclusions: In a SNCH HF cohort, adverse SBDH predominantly afflict younger Black men on Medicaid and are associated with increased utilization.
目的确定不利的社会和行为健康决定因素(SBDH)对安全网社区医院(SNCH)心力衰竭(HF)人群使用医疗服务的影响:我们对2018-2019年间一家社区医院的心衰患者(N= 4594)进行了回顾性分析:21%的研究人群中至少存在一种不良SBDH。至少存在一种不良 SBDH 的患者更年轻(57 岁 vs. 68 岁)、更有可能被认定为黑人(50% vs. 36%)、男性(68% vs. 53%)和拥有医疗补助保险(48% vs. 22%),p<.001。至少存在一种不利的 SBDH(无家可归、药物使用或监禁)与住院率(2.3 vs 1.4/人)和急诊室就诊率(5.1 vs 2.1/人)的增加相关,p<.0001。不良 SBDH 是高血压再入院的独立预测因素。所有患者的指导性药物治疗处方相似:结论:在 SNCH HF 队列中,不良 SBDH 主要影响接受医疗补助的年轻黑人男性,并与使用率增加有关。
