INTRODUCTION: The Affordable Care Act increased insurance coverage for patients residing in states that expanded Medicaid coverage, but its impact on the outcomes of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is not clear. Therefore, we examine the impact of Medicaid expansion (ME) on access to treatment and outcomes of ICC. METHODS: We queried the National Cancer Database (NCDB) data for patients with a diagnosis of ICC (2010-2018). Difference-in-difference (DID) analysis was performed to assess the impact of January 2014 ME on curative-intent surgical resection, multimodal therapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 30-day mortality, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Of the 2150 patients included in the study,1574 (73.2%) and 576 (26.8%) patients lived in non-ME and ME states, respectively. On adjusted DID, ME was independently associated with receipt of curative-intent surgical resection (DID coefficient: 0.05, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.04-0.06, p = 0.002) and multimodal therapy (DID coefficient: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.06-0.10, p = 0.004). In addition, ME was associated with improved OS in ME states (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.62-0.87, p = 0.001) but not in non-ME states (HR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.80-1.12, p = 0.536). CONCLUSION: ME status consistently predicted increased utilization of care processes that improved ICC outcomes, including greater rates of curative-intent surgery and multimodal therapy.
介绍:平价医疗法案增加了在扩大医疗补助覆盖范围的州居住的患者的保险覆盖范围,但它对肝内胆管癌(ICC)结局的影响尚不清楚。因此,我们研究了医疗补助扩大(ME)对 ICC 治疗途径和结局的影响。
方法:我们从国家癌症数据库(NCDB)中检索了 2010 年至 2018 年间 ICC 诊断患者的数据。采用差异-差异(DID)分析评估 2014 年 1 月 ME 对根治性手术切除、多模式治疗、新辅助化疗、30 天死亡率和总生存率(OS)的影响。
结果:在纳入研究的 2150 例患者中,1574 例(73.2%)和 576 例(26.8%)患者分别居住在非 ME 和 ME 州。在调整后的 DID 中,ME 与接受根治性手术切除(DID 系数:0.05,95%置信区间[95%CI]:0.04-0.06,p=0.002)和多模式治疗(DID 系数:0.08,95%CI:0.06-0.10,p=0.004)独立相关。此外,ME 与 ME 州的 OS 改善相关(HR:0.73,95%CI:0.62-0.87,p=0.001),但在非 ME 州不相关(HR:0.95,95%CI:0.80-1.12,p=0.536)。
结论:ME 状态一致预测增加了改善 ICC 结局的护理流程的利用,包括更高的根治性手术和多模式治疗的比例。
