ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We examined the association of patient factors, gynecologic diagnoses, and hospital characteristics with utilization of the robotic approach for benign hysterectomy.METHODS:
We performed cross-sectional study of women (n = 725 050) undergoing hysterectomies in the 2012 to 2014 National Inpatient Sample.RESULTS:
A total of 725 050 women underwent inpatient hysterectomy for benign indications 70345 (10%) were performed robotically. Women were more likely to receive robotic hysterectomy at teaching hospitals (RR 1.60 [95% CI 1.54-1.66]) after adjustment for other patient factors, gynecologic diagnoses, and hospital characteristics. They were more likely to undergo robotic hysterectomy at large (RR 1.34 [95% CI 1.29-1.39]) and for-profit hospitals (RR 1.16 [95% CI 1.11-1.22]). Women were less likely to undergo robotic hysterectomy if they were rural (RR 0.68 [95% CI 0.64-0.72]), African-American (RR 0.78 [95% CI 0.74-0.82]), or publicly insured or uninsured (RR 0.55 [95% CI 0.53-0.57]) women.CONCLUSION:
Significant geographic and hospital-level disparities exist in access to robotic hysterectomy in the United States.Palabras clave
