pubmed:abstractText |
Ethnic minorities and low income families tend to be in poorer health and have worse outcomes for a spectrum of diseases. Health care provider bias has been reported to potentially affect the distribution of care away from poorer communities, minorities, and patients with a history of substance abuse. Trauma is perceived as a disease of the poor and medically underserved. Minorities are overrepresented in low income populations and are also less likely to possess health insurance leading to a potential overlapping effect. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a predominant cause of mortality and long-term morbidity, which imposes a considerable social and financial burden. We therefore sought to determine the independent effect on outcome after TBI from race, insurance status, intoxication on presentation, and median income.
