While prior research has identified racial disparities in prehospital analgesia for traumatic pain, little is known about non-traumatic pain. Using a national prehospital dataset, we sought to evaluate for racial and ethnic disparities in analgesia given by EMS for non-traumatic pain. We analyzed the 2018 and 2019 data from the ESO Data Collaborative, a collection of de-identified prehospital electronic health records from nearly 1,300 participating EMS agencies in the US. We included all transported, adult, non-traumatic encounters with a primary or secondary impression of a pain complaint, and we stratified encounters based on race and ethnicity as recorded by the EMS clinicians. We performed a mixed model analysis, modeling EMS agency as a random intercept and adjusting for age, sex, pain location, level of service, location of incident, and highest pain score. With non-Hispanic White patients as the reference group, we then evaluated the association between race/ethnicity and receiving any pain medication (acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, or opioids), receiving opioid pain medication, and receiving pain medication within 20 minutes of EMS arrival. We included 1,035,486 patients; 67.5% non-Hispanic White, 26.8% Black, 4.9% Hispanic, 0.5% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and 0.2% American Indian or Alaska Native patients. 4.7% of patients received pain medications. Compared to White patients (5.1%), Black patients were less likely to receive pain medication (3.3%, aOR 0.7; 95% CI 0.7-0.7) and Hispanics were more likely to receive pain medication (7.6%, aOR 1.5; 95% CI 1.4-1.6). Black patients were also less likely to receive opioids (1.8% for Black v 3.0% for White, aOR 0.7; 95% CI 0.6-0.7), while Hispanic patients were more likely to receive opioids (4.9%, aOR 1.4; 95% CI 1.3-1.5). The odds of receiving pain medication within 20 minutes was lower for Black patients (aOR 0.9; 95% CI 0.8-0.95) but no different for Hispanic patients (aOR 1.0; 95% CI 0.9-1.1), when compared to White patients. Pain medication administration is uncommon for non-traumatic pain complaints. While Black patients were less likely than White patients to receive pain medications and receive pain medication within 20 minutes, Hispanics were more likely to receive pain medications.
虽然先前的研究已经确定了创伤性疼痛的院前镇痛存在种族差异,但对于非创伤性疼痛知之甚少。我们使用国家院前数据集,旨在评估 EMT 为非创伤性疼痛患者提供的镇痛中是否存在种族和民族差异。我们分析了 ESO Data Collaborative 的 2018 年和 2019 年的数据,该数据集是来自美国近 1300 个参与 EMT 机构的匿名院前电子健康记录的集合。我们纳入了所有转运的、成年的、非创伤性的伴有主要或次要疼痛投诉印象的就诊,并根据 EMT 临床医生记录的种族和民族进行分层。我们进行了混合模型分析,将 EMT 机构作为随机截距建模,并调整了年龄、性别、疼痛部位、服务水平、事件地点和最高疼痛评分。以非西班牙裔白人为参考组,然后评估种族/民族与接受任何疼痛药物(对乙酰氨基酚、非甾体抗炎药或阿片类药物)、接受阿片类疼痛药物以及在 EMT 到达后 20 分钟内接受疼痛药物之间的关联。我们纳入了 1035486 名患者;67.5%为非西班牙裔白人,26.8%为黑人,4.9%为西班牙裔,0.5%为亚洲人,0.1%为夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民,0.2%为美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民。4.7%的患者接受了疼痛药物治疗。与白人患者(5.1%)相比,黑人患者接受疼痛药物治疗的可能性较低(3.3%,aOR 0.7;95%CI 0.7-0.7),而西班牙裔患者更有可能接受疼痛药物治疗(7.6%,aOR 1.5;95%CI 1.4-1.6)。黑人患者接受阿片类药物的可能性也较低(黑人患者为 1.8%,白人患者为 3.0%,aOR 0.7;95%CI 0.6-0.7),而西班牙裔患者接受阿片类药物的可能性较高(4.9%,aOR 1.4;95%CI 1.3-1.5)。与白人患者相比,黑人患者接受疼痛药物治疗的可能性较低(aOR 0.9;95%CI 0.8-0.95),而西班牙裔患者则没有差异(aOR 1.0;95%CI 0.9-1.1)。黑人患者在 20 分钟内接受疼痛药物治疗的可能性也较低(aOR 0.9;95%CI 0.8-0.95),但西班牙裔患者则没有差异(aOR 1.0;95%CI 0.9-1.1)。对于非创伤性疼痛投诉,给予疼痛药物治疗的情况并不常见。虽然黑人患者接受疼痛药物治疗和在 20 分钟内接受疼痛药物治疗的可能性低于白人患者,但西班牙裔患者更有可能接受疼痛药物治疗。
