Risk Factors Associated With Pediatric Post-Tonsillectomy Complications: A Focus on Racial, Ethnic and Socioeconomic Factors
We found no racial/ethnic or socioeconomic disparities in the risk of post-operative complications in children who underwent tonsillectomy. Despite the frequency of tonsillectomy in children, there are few studies addressing inequalities. Further investigation of disparities in other regions of the United States should be performed.
