OBJECTIVE: Patients of different race have different outcomes following renal transplantation. Patients of different race also undergo renal transplantation at different hospitals. We used a novel decentralized multisite approach to quantitatively assess the effect of site of care on racial disparities between non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients in post-transplantation survival times.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we develop a communication-efficient federated learning algorithm to assess site-of-care associated racial disparities based on decentralized time-to-event data, called Communication-Efficient Distributed Analysis for Racial Disparity in Time-to-event Data (CEDAR-t2e). The algorithm includes 2 modules. Module I is to estimate the site-specific proportional hazards model for time-to-event outcomes in a distributed manner, in which the Poissonization is used to simplify the estimation procedure. Based on the estimated results from Module I, Module II calculates how long the kidney failure time of NHB patients would be extended had they been admitted to transplant centers in the same distribution as NHW patients were admitted.
RESULTS: With application to United States Renal Data System data covering 39 043 patients across 73 transplant centers, we found no evidence suggesting the presence of site-of-care associated racial disparities in post-transplantation survival times. In particular, restricting to one year after transplantation, the counterfactual graft failure time would have been extended by only 0.61 days on average if NHB had the same admission distribution to transplant centers as NHW patients.
DISCUSSION: The proposed approach offers a quantitative measure to evaluate site-of-care associated racial disparities.
CONCLUSION: Our approach has the potential to be extended to investigate site-of-care related disparities in other time-to-event outcomes, thus promoting health equity and improving patient health in various fields.
