摘要
简介:里奥格兰德河谷(RGV)的先天性缺陷(CD)发病率历来很高,需要小儿外科专业人员进行干预。我们研究了该地区的死亡率和相关的劳动力模式:我们使用多个数据库收集了与 CD 相关的死亡率数据(2007-2021 年)和外科劳动力趋势/预测(2024-2032 年):方法:通过多个数据库收集与 CD 相关的死亡率数据(2007-2021 年)和外科劳动力趋势/预测(2024-2032 年):在全国范围内,RGV 各县的 CD 死亡率高居第五位。2020 年至 2024 年期间,在所研究的 4 个儿科外科专科中,有 3 个专科的医务人员数量将停滞不前或减少,幅度从 0% 到 66% 不等。此外,预计在未来 8 年内,RGV 在全州范围内将出现一些最明显的手术提供者差异:结论:婴儿死亡率居高不下,同时外科专家持续短缺,未来也会出现短缺,这令人担忧。这些结果可为公共卫生资源的分配和劳动力的分布提供参考,以改善结果。
Pediatric surgical border health: Supply may not be meeting demand in South Texas communities.
Introduction: The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) has historically high incidence of congenital defects (CDs) necessitating intervention by pediatric surgical specialties. We examined mortality in this region and related workforce patterns.
Methods: Mortality data related to CDs (2007-2021) and surgical workforce trends/projections (2024-2032) were collected using multiple databases: National Vital Statistics System, Texas Department of State Health Services, Texas Medical Board, Center for Disease Control.
Results: Nationally, RGV counties rank as high as 5th in CD mortality rates. Between 2020 and 2024, 3 of 4 studied pediatric surgical specialties experienced stagnant/decreasing workforces ranging from 0 to 66 %. Furthermore, the RGV is projected to have some of the most marked state-wide disparities in surgical providers over the next 8 years.
Conclusion: High infant mortality rates along with ongoing and future shortages of surgical specialists is concerning. These results may inform allocation of public health resources and workforce distribution to improve outcomes.
