摘要
Background: Early specialist evaluation during rapid proliferative growth of complicated infantile hemangiomas (IHs) is crucial. Health disparities and barriers of access to care for children with IHs have not been examined. Objective: To investigate whether socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with age at presentation to a subspecialist for IH evaluation. Method: A retrospective cohort study of 804 children presenting to a large academic hospital. The primary outcome was age at initial presentation. Covariates included demographic, socioeconomic, geographic, and clinical characteristics. Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program were proxies for lower SES. Analysis of covariance, chi-square tests, and generalized ordered logistic regressions were performed. Results: Children with lower SES had higher odds of presenting after 3 months of age (odds ratio, 2.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-3.38). In the subset that qualified for the institutional care management program (ICMP), no risk factors were associated with delayed presentation. Limitations: Use of insurance and economic distress as proxies for SES; exclusion of uninsured children, which may have resulted in underestimation of racioethnic effects; and examination of a single academic center, which may limit generalizability. Conclusions: Children with IHs and lower SES were more likely to present later to specialists, but those enrolled in an ICMP were not, suggesting that integrated ICMPs may mitigate disparities and delayed access to care for IHs among lower-SES populations.
