Social disadvantage, access to care, and disparities in physical functioning among children hospitalized with respiratory illness.
This study examined associations between social disadvantage, access to care, and disparities in physical functioning among children hospitalized with acute respiratory illness. The study cohort included children ages 8-16 years and/or caregivers of children 2 weeks to 16 years admitted to five tertiary care children鈥檚 hospitals for three common respiratory illnesses from July 2014 through June 2016. Surveys were completed within 2 to 8 weeks after discharge. The survey assessed social disadvantage, difficulty/delays accessing care, and baseline and follow-up health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and physical functioning using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). A total of 1,325 patients and/or their caregivers completed both PedsQL surveys. Adjusted mean baseline PedsQL scores were significantly lower for patients with social disadvantage (minority race/ethnicity, limited English proficiency, low education, and low income), than for patients with none. There were also disadvantage markers or difficulty/delays accessing care which were associated with lower physical functioning. However, these differences were reduced after hospital discharge.
