To date, health disparities in critically ill children have largely been studied within, not across, specific intensive care unit (ICU) settings, thus impeding collaboration which may help advance the care of critically ill children. The aim of this scoping review is to summarize the literature intentionally designed to examine health disparities, across 3 primary ICU settings (neonatal ICU, pediatric ICU, and cardiac ICU) in the United States. We included over 50 studies which describe health disparities across race and/or ethnicity, area-level indices, insurance status, socioeconomic position, language, and distance.
迄今为止,危重病儿童的健康差异主要在特定的重症监护病房 (ICU) 内进行研究,而不是在不同 ICU 间进行研究,这阻碍了可能有助于改善危重病儿童护理的合作。本范围综述的目的是总结旨在检查美国 3 个主要 ICU 环境(新生儿 ICU、儿科 ICU 和心脏 ICU)中健康差异的文献。我们纳入了 50 多项研究,这些研究描述了在种族和/或民族、地区指数、保险状况、社会经济地位、语言和距离方面的健康差异。
