Abstract
Patients with vascular anomalies (VAs) require expert multidisciplinary care. No prior studies have characterized the sociodemographic characteristics across multiple VA centers. We collected data on 5783 patients receiving care at 20 VA centers between July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Male patients were underrepresented compared to the state-level census data at 17/20 centers. Black and Asian patients were underrepresented at 14/20 and 12/20 centers, respectively. The median distance to the hospital was 48 miles, and median age was 12.0 years. These data suggest that race, sex, age, and distance from the hospital could impede the ability to access expert VA care.
