Socioeconomic deprivation is associated with worse in-hospital survival after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting in the UK.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Previous studies have identified a correlation between socioeconomic deprivation and poorer outcomes following cardiac surgery in the USA, where healthcare is predominantly delivered through private system. However, the influence of socioeconomic deprivation in countries with universal healthcare systems, such as the UK, has been less extensively investigated. Therefore, we used the index of multiple deprivation (IMD) to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status on early clinical outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the UK.

Methods

All patients who underwent elective/urgent isolated CABG between 2008 and 2019 in the UK were included. The IMD, along with other perioperative characteristics, were incorporated into a regression model to dete
