OBJECTIVES: Disparity in kidney transplant access has been demonstrated by a disproportionately low rate of kidney transplantation in socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. However, the information is not from national representative populations with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We aim to examine whether socioeconomic disparity for kidney transplant access exists by utilizing data from the All of Us Research Program.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed data of adult ESKD patients using the All of Us Researcher Workbench. The association of socioeconomic data including types of health insurance, levels of education, and household incomes with kidney transplant access was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted by baseline demographic, medical comorbidities, and behavioral information.
RESULTS: Among 4078 adults with ESKD, mean diagnosis age was 54 and 51.64% were male. The majority had Medicare (39.6%), were non-graduate college (75.79%), and earned $10 000-24 999 annual income (20.16%). After adjusting for potential confounders, insurance status emerged as a significant predictor of kidney transplant access. Individuals covered by Medicaid (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.58; P-value < .001) or uninsured (AOR 0.21; 95% CI, 0.12-0.37; P-value < .001) exhibited lower odds of transplantation compared to those with private insurance.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal the influence of insurance status and socioeconomic factors on access to kidney transplantation among ESKD patients. Addressing these disparities through expanded insurance coverage and improved healthcare access is vital for promoting equitable treatment and enhancing health outcomes in vulnerable populations.
