Black patients have higher burden of comorbidities but lower risk of 30-day and one-year mortality after thoracic endovascular aortic repair
Journal of Vascular Surgery Dec 05, 2020
Yin K, Alhajri N, Rizwan M, et al. - This study was attempted to investigate the clinical characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and one-year survival of black vs white individuals undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in a national vascular surgery database. Between January 2011 and December 2019, researchers retrospectively queried the Vascular Quality Initiative database to distinguish all patients who had undergone TEVAR. Predictors of 30-day mortality and perioperative complications were distinguished by conducting multivariable logistic regression analyses. The predictors of one-year survival were ascertained by using Multivariable Cox regression analysis. They identified a sum of 2,669 individuals with TEVAR in the Vascular Quality Initiative, of whom 648 were black patients (24.3%). This study’s findings demonstrate that the racial disparity in perioperative outcomes and one-year survival does not persist in TEVAR, although black patients carried a higher burden of comorbidities.
