Association Between Health Insurance Type and Survival Outcomes: Insight Into the Impact of Socioeconomic Disparities in the Postoperative Outcomes of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Korea
In patients undergoing EVAR for AAA, insurance type was independently associated with postoperative AAA-related mortality, with Medical Aid patients experiencing worse outcomes. In contrast, no significant difference in AAA-related mortality was observed between insurance types among patients undergoing OAR. These findings highlight the need to improve postoperative care and address outcome disparities in vulnerable populations undergoing EVAR.
