Racial Disparities in Perioperative Outcomes for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
There is evidence of racial disparities in HNC surgery perioperatively. Black patients face an increased risk of major complications, reoperation, extended hospital stay, and non-home discharge. Developing a comprehensive surgical database with more social determinants of health variables and using a socioecological framework of health can help us identify contributors to these disparities and design high-leverage solutions.
