Social Vulnerability And Surgery
In their May Health Affairs article, Yuqi Zhang and coauthors analyze
rates of unplanned surgery among Medicare beneficiaries
that preferably should be planned when there is adequate access to care.
The authors determine that beneficiaries who live in communities with a
higher Social Vulnerability Index are more likely to undergo unplanned
surgery for certain access-sensitive conditions, and more likely to
experience worse outcomes than their less-vulnerable counterparts.
"Patients living in communities with the highest social vulnerability
were more likely to travel farther, for longer times, and to lower-rated
hospitals to obtain surgical procedures," the authors find.
The authors go on to suggest that addressing determinants of
community-level social vulnerability-particularly transportation
issues that can limit access to hospitals-may mitigate the observed
differences in surgical procedures and outcomes.
