Hispanic patients are also 21 percent more likely than white people to die in the 30 days after surgery.
Black and Hispanic patients are more likely to die after surgery than white patients by a significant degree, new research has found.Black patients are 42 percent more likely than white patients to die within 30 days of surgery, while Hispanic patients are 21 percent more likely.This was revealed in a study analyzing over a million surgical procedures at 7,740 U.S. hospitals between 2000 and 2020, presented at the medical journal Anesthesiology's 2023 annual meeting.
'The study did not identify the causes of death of the patients and found that while all groups experienced decreased deaths over time, the disparities between groups did not narrow.'What's going on after the surgery is a direct and indirect result of ongoing structural violence that drives inequities in Black and Hispanic health outcomes.
