To assess the geographic distribution of head and neck oncology surgeons (HNS) in U.S. to evaluate association this with neighborhood-level social determinants health as measured by Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). U.S.-based HNSs their practice addresses were obtained from publicly available sources. The was analyzed at state, county, metropolitan statistical area levels. census tracts scored on a continuous scale increasing vulnerability (0-1) across Overall SVI four subthemes: Socioeconomic Status, Household Composition-Disability Racial-Ethnic Minority Housing-Transportation Status. distance each tract nearest HNS calculated, univariable linear regression analyses assessed associations between scores distances. This study included 609 that disproportionately distributed MSA Higher (β = 12.9 [95% CI: 11.05, 14.69]), Status 11.5 9.67, 13.32]), 10.4 8.61, 12.27]), 18.2 16.42, 20.06]) associated significantly increased HNS, while higher among decreased -25.8 -27.64, -24.01]).
