Abstract

We sought to determine whether racial differences in rates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and cardiac catheterization decreased after 1980. Many reports of racial differences in utilization of CABG have been published since 1982. However, changes in the relative utilization of revascularization over time have received little attention. Data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey were examined for the years 1980 through 1993. Estimated numbers of procedures performed in nonfederal U.S. hospitals were used to compute age-adjusted rates per 100,000 population by year and race for patients 35 to 84 years old. In patients 35 to 84 years old, the rate of CABG increased in blacks and whites between 1980 and 1993. Between 1986 and 1993, there was little change in the black/white ratio of age-adjusted rates (0.23 in 1980 through 1985 combined, 0.38 in 1986 and 0.43 in 1993). An apparent increase from 0.23 in 1980 through 1985 combined may have been due to sampling variation. Despite rapid increases in rates of PTCA in both races, no increase in the black/white ratio was noted (0.57 in 1993). However, the rate of inpatient cardiac catheterization increased more r...Continue Reading
