RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: While the relationships between cardiovascular disease (CVD), stress, and financial strain are well studied, the association between recessionary periods and macroeconomic conditions on incidence of disease-specific CVD emergency department (ED) visits is not well established. OBJECTIVES: This retrospective observational study aimed to assess the relationship between macroeconomic trends and CVD ED visits. METHODS: This study uses data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Care Survey (NHAMCS), Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED), National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), and CVD groupings from National Vital Statistics (NVS) and Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) from 1999 to 2020 to analyze ED visits in relation to macroeconomic indicators and NBER defined recessions and expansions. RESULTS: CVD ED visits grew by 79.7% from 1999 to 2020, significantly more than total ED visits (27.8%, p < 0.001). A national estimate of 213.2 million CVD ED visits, with 22.9 million visits in economic recessions were analyzed. A secondary group including a 6-month period before and after each recession (defined as a "broadened recession") was also analyzed to account for potential leading and lagging effects of the recession, with a total of 50.0 million visits. A significantly higher proportion of CVD ED visits related to heart failure (HF) and other acute ischemic heart diseases (IHD) was observed during recessionary time periods both directly and with a 6-month lead and lag (p < 0.05). The proportion of aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAA) and atherosclerosis (ASVD) ED visits was significantly higher (p = 0.024) in the recession period with a 6-month lead and lag. When controlled for common demographic factors, economic approximations of recession such as the CPI, federal funds rate, and real disposable income were significantly associated with increased CVD ED visits. CONCLUSION: Macroeconomic trends have a significant relationship with the overall mix of CVD ED visits and represent an understudied social determinant of health.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Social determinants of health (SDH) are factors that affect patient health outcomes outside the hospital. SDH are "conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks." Current literature has shown SDH affecting patient reported outcomes in various specialties; however, there is a dearth in research relating spine surgery with SDH. The aim of this review article is to identify connections between SDH and post-operative outcomes in spine surgery. These are important, yet understudied predictors that can impact health outcomes and affect health equity. RECENT FINDINGS: Few studies have shown associations between SDH pillars (environment, race, healthcare, economic, and education) and spine surgery outcomes. The most notable relationships demonstrate increased disability, return to work time, and pain with lower income, education, environmental locations, healthcare status and/or provider. Despite these findings, there remains a significant lack of understanding between SDH and spine surgery. Our manuscript reviews the available literature comparing SDH with various spine conditions and surgeries. We organized our findings into the following narrative themes: 1) education, 2) geography, 3) race, 4) healthcare access, and 5) economics.
