ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study aimed to evaluate the association of race/ethnicity and patient care experiences (PCEs) with healthcare utilization and costs among US older adults with prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The study used data from 2007 to 2015 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results dataset linked to Medicare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey and Medicare claims (SEER-CAHPS). We identified males aged ≥65 years who completed a CAHPS survey within 6-60 months post-PCa diagnosis. Covariate-adjusted associations of six CAHPS PCE composite measures with any emergency department visit and any inpatient stay (using logistic regressions), and with total part A and part B Medicare costs (using generalized linear models) were examined by race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Asian, and other).RESULTS:
Among 1834 PCa survivors, a 1-point higher score for getting care quickly was associated with higher odds (odds ratio 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-1.15; p = 0.009) of any inpatient stay in Hispanic patients. Higher total costs were associated with a 1-point higher score for getting needed care among Hispanic patients ($590.84; 95% CI $262.15, $919.53; p < 0.001); a 1-point higher score for getting care quickly among Hispanic patients ($405.26; 95% CI $215.83, $594.69; p < 0.001); and a 1-point higher score for customer service among patients belonging to other races ($361.69; 95% CI $15.68, $707.69; p = 0.04).DISCUSSION:
We observed differential associations by race/ethnicity between PCEs and healthcare utilization and costs. Further research is needed to explore the causes of these associations.Palavras-chave
