Socioeconomic status fails to account for worse outcomes in non-Hispanic black patients undergoing carotid revascularization.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Previous studies have reported an association of Black race with worse carotid revascularization outcomes, but rarely include socioeconomic status as a confounding covariate. We aimed to assess the association of race and ethnicity with in-hospital and long-term outcomes following carotid revascularization before and after accounting for socioeconomic status.

Methods

We identified non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic white patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy, transfemoral carotid stenting, or transcarotid artery revascularization between 2003 and 2022 in the Vascular Quality Initiative. Primary outcomes were in-hospital stroke/death and long-term stroke/death. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the ass
