Abstract
Disparities in regional anesthesia may limit patients' access to appropriate care. We reviewed literature from 2013 to 2023 regarding health disparities in regional anesthesia. While there were some exceptions, patients belonging to racial/ethnic minority groups and those with lower socioeconomic status did not receive regional anesthesia as frequently as their White or higher-income peers. As regional anesthesia continues to emerge as a preferred method of managing chronic pain conditions and providing surgical anesthesia, it is essential to ensure that it is provided equitably across the patient population.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
