Black patients who experience acute myocardial infarction and receive care in high minority-serving hospitals have higher readmission rates. This study explores how hospital system affiliation (centralized versus decentralized/independent) impacts 30-day readmissions after acute myocardial infarction in black men.
In 2018, the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database (2009-2013) was used to observe 30-day readmission for acute myocardial infarction by race, and data from the American Hospital Association Annual Survey of Hospitals (2009-2013) to determine hospital system affiliation for the states Arizona, California, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. A series of hierarchic logistic regressions were conducted to determine if hospital system affiliation mediates the relationship between race and 30-day readmission.
Of 63,743 hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction among men between 2009 and 2013, black men accounted for 7.1% of hospitalizations and 8.0% of readmissions. In both models, race significantly predicted 30-day readmission (unadjusted OR=1.25, 95% CI=1.14, 1.37, p<0.001; AOR=1.13, 95% CI=1.03, 1.25, p=0.046). After controlling for system type, black men were more likely to be readmitted after acute myocardial infarction than white men in both models (unadjusted OR=1.25, 95% CI=1.14, 1.38, p<0.001; AOR=1.14, 95% CI=1.03, 1.25). There was no difference in odds of being readmitted by race and hospital system type (unadjusted OR=0.88, 95% CI=0.25, 3.07, p=0.84, AOR=1.02, 95% CI=0.21, 5.10, p=0.98).
Black men appear to be more likely to be readmitted after acute myocardial infarction. Centralization does not appear to mediate the relationship between race and 30-day readmissions for acute myocardial infarction.

在经历急性心肌梗死并在少数民族服务医院接受治疗的黑人患者中,再入院率较高。本研究探讨了医院系统隶属关系(集中与分散/独立)如何影响黑人男性急性心肌梗死后 30 天的再入院率。
2018 年,使用医疗保健成本和利用项目州住院患者数据库(2009-2013 年)观察种族对急性心肌梗死 30 天再入院的影响,并使用美国医院协会年度医院调查数据(2009-2013 年)确定亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州、北卡罗来纳州和威斯康星州的医院系统隶属关系。进行了一系列层次逻辑回归,以确定医院系统隶属关系是否在种族与 30 天再入院率之间起中介作用。
在 2009 年至 2013 年间,男性急性心肌梗死住院患者中,黑人男性占住院患者的 7.1%,占再入院患者的 8.0%。在两个模型中,种族均显著预测 30 天再入院率(未调整的 OR=1.25,95%CI=1.14,1.37,p<0.001;AOR=1.13,95%CI=1.03,1.25,p=0.046)。在控制了系统类型后,在两个模型中,黑人男性在急性心肌梗死后再次入院的可能性均高于白人男性(未调整的 OR=1.25,95%CI=1.14,1.38,p<0.001;AOR=1.14,95%CI=1.03,1.25)。种族和医院系统类型对再次入院的可能性没有差异(未调整的 OR=0.88,95%CI=0.25,3.07,p=0.84,AOR=1.02,95%CI=0.21,5.10,p=0.98)。
黑人男性在急性心肌梗死后再次入院的可能性似乎更高。集中化似乎并没有调解种族与急性心肌梗死后 30 天再入院率之间的关系。
