Methods: In February 2024, a comprehensive search across several databases. Studies were included when they had at least 2 distinct ethnic groups for comparison, along with utilization validated questionnaires to measure life. Two authors independently screened, selected, evaluated studies, while 1 author extracted outcome data. When possible, effect sizes calculated using raw data from studies. Results: Eleven studies included, comprising 12,430 patients. All but study found disparities 8 patients minority lower after stroke compared predominant group country. (Asians non-Hispanic blacks, respectively) showed better outcomes majority group. no differences observed. 6 size calculable, ranged small moderate.

ABSTRACT There are limited and conflicting data on sex urban‐rural disparities in outcomes of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) the reproductive age group. Our object was to assess group cohort. All adult non‐elective admissions (18−49 years) a primary diagnosis PE no missing sex/age were identified using National Inpatient Sample. Females males stratified into rural urban location based hospital information. Outcomes interest included in‐hospital mortality, complication rates, variations management, total hospitalization costs, length stay. During 01/01/2016 12/31/2020, 180,898 aged 18−49 years (rural—12,319 [6.8%]). comprised 54.8% 55.1% cohorts, respectively. Overall, compared males, females regions had largely comparable rates definitive interventions, except lower catheter directed therapy (4.7 vs. 3.6%, p < 0.001) admitted hospitals. Despite younger age, higher comorbidity, utilization both similar unadjusted mortality (rural 1.1% 1.0%; = 0.93 1.8% 1.7%; 0.78) costs males. In conclusion, areas. areas advanced potentially indicating selective management strategies different settings.
