ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Previous studies have explored the relationship between socioeconomic status and sepsis outcomesOBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this investigation is to determine if race, ethnicity, economic stability, neighborhood environment, and access to health care are predictive of mortality in patients with septic shock.METHODS:
Retrospective study of septic shock patients admitted to two medical centers.RESULTS:
Caucasian patients had higher proportion of outpatient physician visits in the year prior to admission and were less likely to be Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries. Thirty-day mortality was lower for the Caucasian cohort (39.3% vs. 48.7%, p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression found several predictors of 30-day mortality including Minority race/ethnicity (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.12-1.86), unemployment (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.09-1.81), and neighborhood poverty rate ≥10% (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.01-2.01).CONCLUSIONS:
Minority patients, unemployed patients, and those living in neighborhoods with poverty rates greater than 10% suffered from higher 30-day mortality when admitted for septic shock.Palavras-chave
