OBJECTIVES: To investigate the racial and socioeconomic (income) differences in receipt of and time to surgical care for urinary incontinence (UI) and erectile dysfunction (ED) occurring post-radical prostatectomy (RP) and/or radiation therapy (RT).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Utilizing the Medicare Standard Analytical Files (SAF), a retrospective cohort study was performed on data of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) from 2015 to 2021. Patients who underwent RP and/or RT and who subsequently developed UI and/or ED were grouped into four cohorts: RP-ED, RP-UI, RT-ED and RT-UI. County-level median household income was cross-referenced with SAF county codes, classified into income quartiles, and used as a proxy for patient income status. The rate of surgical care was compared between groups using two-sample t-test and log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to determine covariate-adjusted impact of race on time to surgical care.
RESULTS: The rate of surgical care was 6.8, 3.61 3.07, and 1.54 per 100 person-years for the RP-UI, RT-UI, RP-ED, and RT-ED cohorts, respectively. Cox proportional 'time-to-surgical care' regression analysis revealed that Black men were statistically more likely to receive ED surgical care (RP-ED AHR:1.79, 95% CI:1.49-2.17; RT-ED AHR:1.50, 95% CI:1.11-2.01), but less likely to receive UI surgical care (RP-UI AHR:0.80, 95% CI:0.67-0.96) than White men, in all cohorts except RT-UI. Surgical care was highest among Q1 (lowest income quartile) patients in all cohorts except RT-UI.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgical care for post-PCa treatment complications is low, and significantly impacted by racial and socioeconomic (income) differences. Prospective studies investigating the basis of these results would be insightful.
