Inequities in Cardiac Intervention Service Availability
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked arteries and restores blood flow to the heart.
In the July issue of ([link removed] ) Health Affairs ([link removed] ) , Renee Hsia of the University of California San Francisco and Yu-Chu Shen of the Naval Postgraduate School examine racial and geographic disparities in access to PCI services ([link removed] ) .
After examining a selection of US general acute hospitals between 2000–20, the researchers conclude that “hospitals serving communities with high shares of Black and Hispanic residents and a high degree of residential segregation had the lowest likelihoods of adopting PCI services when population and hospital size were controlled for.”
For more on the paper’s findings, listen to a new episode of A Health Podyssey ([link removed] ) with author Renee Hsia and Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
