Disparities in Healthcare Utilization: An Analysis of Disease Specific and Patient Level Factors in a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Clinic
Topic overview
This study investigates whether CDH patients who maintain long-term clinic follow-up differ in disease severity from those lost to follow-up post-discharge. The analysis identifies disease-specific and patient-level factors influencing healthcare utilization patterns in this congenital condition.
Key takeaways
- Disease severity alone may not predict long-term follow-up adherence in CDH patients after hospital discharge.
- Patients lost to follow-up may have different socioeconomic or access barriers unrelated to CDH severity.
- Understanding utilization patterns can identify at-risk CDH families needing targeted outreach interventions.
- Long-term CDH clinic adherence requires addressing both medical complexity and social determinants of health.
