Racial and socioeconomic disparities in postoperative outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting: a national inpatient analysis
Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients experience higher postoperative complication rates and longer hospital stays after CABG. Native American and Black patients showed trends toward higher in-hospital mortality, though not statistically significant. Patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds incur significantly higher hospital costs and are more likely to experience prolonged hospitalizations. Racial and socioeconomic disparities persist despite adjustment for comorbidities and hospital-level factors.
