Does Black race/ethnicity associate with worse in-hospital mortality and postoperative outcomes in adult patients undergoing CABG compared to White patients?
Significant racial disparities persist in CABG outcomes in the US, with Black patients experiencing higher in-hospital mortality and complications than White patients, and these gaps have not narrowed between 2016 and 2021.
Effect estimate: aOR 1.22 (95% CI null)
Absolute Event Rate: 3.2% vs 2.4%
p-value: p=<0.01
Racial disparities persist in CABG outcomes across 1.1 million U.S. patients Black patients face higher mortality, complications, and longer LOS after CABG Younger age and higher comorbidity burden noted among Black CABG patients No significant improvement in racial outcome gaps after CABG from 2016 to 2021 Findings highlight urgent need for equity-focused perioperative interventions
Moreira et al. (Sun,) conducted a cohort in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (n=1,159,040). Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting vs. White patients was evaluated on in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.22, 95% CI null, p=<0.01). Black patients undergoing CABG experienced 33% higher in-hospital mortality compared to White patients, with a mortality rate of 3.2% versus 2.4% and an adjusted odds ratio of 1.22.
