It is unclear if Medicaid expansion improved access to surgical resection for hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
This was a quasi-experimental, cohort study using difference-in-difference analysis to evaluate differences in surgical resection for HPB/GI cancers in the post-Medicaid expansion era compared to the pre-Medicaid expansion era among patients residing in states that had Medicaid expansion versus not.
During the pre- (2011-2013) and post-Medicaid expansion (2015-2017) eras, there were 49,954 patients between the ages of 40-64 who had liver cancer (n = 19,384; 38.8%), pancreatic cancer (n = 14,351; 28.7%), colorectal liver metastasis (n = 7566; 15.1%), or gastric cancer (n = 8653; 17.3%). 43.2% resided in expansion states (n = 21,577). There were no significant differences in the overall rates of surgical resection between expansion and non-expansion states before and after Medicaid expansion.
Medicaid expansion did not impact surgical resection for HPB/GI cancers.
尚不清楚医疗补助计划扩大是否改善了肝胆胰(HPB)和胃肠(GI)癌症的手术切除机会。
这是一项准实验性队列研究,采用差异中的差异分析评估了医疗补助计划扩大前后,在接受医疗补助的州和未接受医疗补助的州中,HPB/GI 癌症手术切除的差异。
在医疗补助计划扩大前(2011-2013 年)和扩大后(2015-2017 年)期间,年龄在 40-64 岁之间的患者有 49954 人患有肝癌(n=19384;38.8%)、胰腺癌(n=14351;28.7%)、结直肠癌肝转移(n=7566;15.1%)或胃癌(n=8653;17.3%)。43.2%的患者居住在扩大的州(n=21577)。在医疗补助计划扩大前后,扩大州和非扩大州的手术切除总体率没有显著差异。
医疗补助计划扩大并未影响肝胆胰/胃肠癌症的手术切除。
