Association between Race and Perioperative Outcomes after Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis in NSQIP.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have documented that Black patients have worse outcomes after lower extremity revascularization procedures compared with White patients. However, the association of race on carotid endarterectomy (CEA) outcomes is not well described. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes of CEA for Black vs White patients with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.

Study design

All patients who underwent CEA for asymptomatic carotid stenosis in the ACS-NSQIP targeted vascular database (2011-2019) were included. Perioperative (30-day) outcomes were compared for Black vs White patients using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age/sex, comorbidities, and disease characteristics.

Results

Of 16,764 asymptomatic CEA patients, 95.
