To evaluate the association of social determinants of health (SDoH) with eye care utilization among people with diabetes mellitus using the 2013-2017 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
Retrospective cross-sectional study.
Participants ≥ 18 years of age with self-reported diabetes.
The SDoH in the following domains were used: (1) economic stability; (2) neighborhood, physical environment, and social cohesion; (3) community and social context; (4) food environment; (5) education; and (6) health care system. An aggregate SDoH score was calculated and divided into quartiles, with Q4 representing those with the highest adverse SDoH burden. Survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the association of SDoH quartile with eye care utilization in the preceding 12 months. A linear trend test was conducted. Domain-specific mean SDoH scores were calculated, and the performance of domain-specific models was compared using area under the curve (AUC).
Eye care utilization in the preceding 12 months.
Of 20 807 adults with diabetes, 43% had not used eye care. Greater adverse SDoH burden was associated with decrements in odds of eye care utilization (P < 0.001 for trend). Participants in the highest quartile of adverse SDoH burden (Q4) had a 58% lower odds (odds ratio [OR], 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37-0.47) of eye care utilization than those in Q1. The domain-specific model using economic stability had the highest performing AUC (0.63; 95% CI, 0.62-0.64).
Among a national sample of people with diabetes, adverse SDoH were associated with decreased eye care utilization. Evaluating and intervening upon the effects of adverse SDoH may be a means by which to improve eye care utilization and prevent vision loss.

利用 2013-2017 年全国健康访谈调查(NHIS)评估健康社会决定因素(SDoH)与糖尿病患者眼部护理利用之间的关系。
回顾性横断面研究。
年龄≥18 岁且自我报告患有糖尿病的参与者。
使用以下领域的 SDoH:(1)经济稳定性;(2)邻里、物理环境和社会凝聚力;(3)社区和社会背景;(4)食品环境;(5)教育;和(6)医疗保健系统。计算了一个综合 SDoH 评分,并将其分为四分位数,其中四分位数 4 代表那些具有最高不利 SDoH 负担的人。使用调查加权多变量逻辑回归模型评估 SDoH 四分位数与前 12 个月眼部护理利用之间的关联。进行了线性趋势检验。计算了特定领域的平均 SDoH 评分,并使用曲线下面积(AUC)比较了特定领域模型的性能。
前 12 个月的眼部护理利用情况。
在 20807 名患有糖尿病的成年人中,有 43%的人没有使用眼部护理。不利 SDoH 负担越大,接受眼部护理的可能性就越低(趋势检验 P<0.001)。处于不利 SDoH 负担最高四分位数(Q4)的参与者接受眼部护理的可能性比处于 Q1 的参与者低 58%(优势比[OR],0.42;95%置信区间[CI],0.37-0.47)。使用经济稳定性的特定领域模型具有最高的 AUC(0.63;95%CI,0.62-0.64)。
在全国范围内患有糖尿病的人群中,不利的 SDoH 与眼部护理利用率降低有关。评估和干预不利 SDoH 的影响可能是提高眼部护理利用率和预防视力丧失的一种手段。
