Sex, Race, and Rural-Urban Disparities in Ventricular Tachycardia Ablations
Background
Ventricular ablation may be clinically indicated for patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) and has been shown to decrease risk of recurrence and overall morbidity. However, the existence of disparities among patients receiving ventricular ablation has not been well characterized.
Objectives
In this study, the authors examined patients hospitalized with VT to determine whether disparities exist among those receiving ablations.
Methods
The authors used the National Inpatient Sample to assess patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of VT in 2019 who did and did not receive catheter ablations. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate risk factors for VT ablation based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and hospital characteristics.
Results
After adjusting for baseline characteristics and comorbidities, female and Black patients hospitalized with VT had significantly lower odds of receiving ablations compared with male and White patients (OR: 0.835; 95% CI: 0.699-0.997; P = 0.047; and OR: 0.617; 95% CI: 0.457-0.832; P = 0.002, respectively). Additionally, patients at rural or nonteaching hospitals were significantly less likely to receive ablations compared with those at urban, teaching hospitals. No significant differences were noted based on income or insurance status in the adjusted models.
Conclusions
The authors identified significant disparities in the delivery of ventricular ablations among patients hospitalized with VT. Overall, patients who were female or Black as well as those who were hospitalized at rural or nonteaching hospitals were significantly less likely to receive VT ablations during hospitalization.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields are encouraged. Experimental and preclinical work that directly relates to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are also encouraged. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
