Black children more likely than white children to die after common surgeries, U.S. study finds, echoing evidence seen in adults.
The Associated Press
The researchers examined national data on nearly 173,000 operations from 2012 through 2017. Appendix removal and orthopedic operations were among the most common surgeries. And while there were few deaths, the disparities were striking: 23 black youngsters died within 30 days of surgery compared with 13 whites.Children were younger than 17 and were considered relatively healthy before their surgeries.
Differences in hospital quality and doctor bias have been suggested as contributors to racial health inequities in other research, but Nafiu said those factors are beyond the study's scope and that reasons for the disparities found are uncertain.
