abstract: 'Purpose: One of the most common procedures in the pediatric population
|
|
|
|
is the placement of a gastrostomy tube. There are significant medical,
|
|
|
|
emotional, and social implications for both patients and caregivers. We
|
|
|
|
hypothesized that socioeconomic status had a significant impact on
|
|
|
|
gastrostomy complications.
|
|
|
|
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed. Patient and census
|
|
|
|
data including median household income, unemployment rate, health
|
|
|
|
insurance status, poverty level, and caregiver education level were
|
|
|
|
merged. Statistical tests were conducted against a 2-sided alternative
|
|
|
|
hypothesis with a 0.05 significance level. Outcomes examined were minor
|
|
|
|
and major complications in association with socioeconomic variables.
|
|
|
|
Results: Patients with mechanical complications were younger, weighed
|
|
|
|
less, and had a 72\% greater chance of having commercial insurance.
|
|
|
|
Patients with Medicare/self-pay were three times more likely to have a
|
|
|
|
minor complication. The average unemployment rate was 23\% greater in
|
|
|
|
familieswith amajor complication. Individuals with a minor complication
|
|
|
|
came from community tracts with a lower percentage of families below the
|
|
|
|
poverty level.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: An association between socioeconomic factors and gastrostomy
|
|
|
|
complications was identified. Insurance status and employment status
|
|
|
|
were more significant predictors than poverty level. Further work with
|
|
|
|
variables for targeted interventions to provide specific family support
|
|
|
|
will allow these children and families to thrive. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
