LAS VEGAS — Results showed racial and ethnic disparities are more pronounced in the ambulatory care setting compared with the inpatient setting for lumbar surgical care.
“This topic and this research is not to indicate that we are not providing adequate care for our minority population, but it’s to highlight that more can be done to educate our patients, as well as to provide access across the board to everybody,” Saad Chaudhary, MD, FAAOS, assistant professor at the Mount Sinai Health System and spine surgeon at the Icahn School of Medicine, told Healio about results presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting.
