Bridging the Gap
Despite the well-established impact of SDOH on health outcomes, the present findings highlight a persistent underreporting of these factors in plastic and reconstructive surgery trials. Future RCTs should prioritize the standardized inclusion of SDOH variables to enhance the generalizability of findings and inform more equitable surgical care.
