A multi-state analysis on the effect of deprivation and race on PICU admission and mortality in children receiving Medicaid in United States (2007–2014)
In a Medicaid cohort from 2007-2014, children with greater socioeconomic vulnerability had increased odds of PICU mortality. Black children were at increased risk of PICU admission and mortality, with substantial state-level variation. Our work highlights the persistence of sociodemographic disparities in outcomes even among insured children.
