Risk of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Among Pregnant Individuals With Gestational Diabetes by Race and Ethnicity in the United States, 2014-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Gestational diabetes, which increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, has been increasing in frequency across all racial and ethnic subgroups in the US.

Objective

To assess whether the frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes among those in the US with gestational diabetes changed over time and whether the risk of these outcomes differed by maternal race and ethnicity.

Design, setting, and participants

Exploratory serial, cross-sectional, descriptive study using US National Center for Health Statistics natality data for 1 560 822 individuals with gestational diabetes aged 15 to 44 years with singleton nonanomalous live births from 2014 to 2020 in the US.

Exposures

Year of delivery and race and ethnicity, as reported on the birth certificate, stratified as non-Hispanic American Indian, non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic/Latina, and non-Hispanic White (reference group).

Main outcomes and measures

Maternal outcomes of interest included cesarean delivery, primary cesarean delivery, preeclampsia or gestational hypertension, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and transfusion; neonatal outcomes included large for gestational age (LGA), macrosomia (>4000 g at birth), small for gestational age (SGA), preterm birth, and neonatal ICU (NICU) admission, as measured by the frequency (per 1000 live births) with estimation of mean annual percentage change (APC), disparity ratios, and adjusted risk ratios.

Results

Of 1 560 822 included pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes (mean [SD] age, 31 [5.5] years), 1% were American Indian, 13% were Asian/Pacific Islander, 12% were Black, 27% were Hispanic/Latina, and 48% were White. From 2014 to 2020, there was a statistically significant increase in the overall frequency (mean APC per year) of preeclampsia or gestational hypertension (4.2% [95% CI, 3.3% to 5.2%]), transfusion (8.0% [95% CI, 3.8% to 12.4%]), preterm birth at less than 37 weeks (0.9% [95% CI, 0.3% to 1.5%]), and NICU admission (1.0% [95% CI, 0.3% to 1.7%]). There was a significant decrease in cesarean delivery (-1.4% [95% CI, -1.7% to -1.1%]), primary cesarean delivery (-1.2% [95% CI, -1.5% to -0.9%]), LGA (-2.3% [95% CI, -2.8% to -1.8%]), and macrosomia (-4.7% [95% CI, -5.3% to -4.0%]). There was no significant change in maternal ICU admission and SGA. In comparison with White individuals, Black individuals were at significantly increased risk of all assessed outcomes, except LGA and macrosomia; American Indian individuals were at significantly increased risk of all assessed outcomes except cesarean delivery and SGA; and Hispanic/Latina and Asian/Pacific Islander individuals were at significantly increased risk of maternal ICU admission, preterm birth, NICU admission, and SGA. Differences in adverse outcomes by race and ethnicity persisted through these years.

Conclusions and relevance

From 2014 through 2020, the frequency of multiple adverse pregnancy outcomes in the US increased among pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes. Differences in adverse outcomes by race and ethnicity persisted.

Project description:ImportanceGlioma is the most commonly occurring malignant brain tumor in the United States, and its incidence varies by age, sex, and race or ethnicity. Survival after brain tumor diagnosis has been shown to vary by these factors.ObjectiveTo quantify the differences in incidence and survival rates of glioma in adults by race or ethnicity.Design, setting, and participantsThis population-based study obtained incidence data from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States and survival data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries, covering the period January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2014. Average annual age-adjusted incidence rates with 95% CIs were generated by glioma histologic groups, race, Hispanic ethnicity, sex, and age groups. One-year and 5-year relative survival rates were generated by glioma histologic groups, race, Hispanic ethnicity, and insurance status. The analysis included 244?808 patients with glioma diagnosed in adults aged 18 years or older. Data were collected from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2014. Data analysis took place from December 11, 2017, to January 31, 2018.ResultsOverall, 244?808 patients with glioma were analyzed. Of these, 150?631 (61.5%) were glioblastomas, 46?002 (18.8%) were non-glioblastoma astrocytomas, 26?068 (10.7%) were oligodendroglial tumors, 8816 (3.6%) were ependymomas, and 13?291 (5.4%) were other glioma diagnoses in adults. The data set included 137 733 males (56.3%) and 107 075 (43.7%) females. There were 204 580 non-Hispanic whites (83.6%), 17 321 Hispanic whites (7.08%), 14 566 blacks (6.0%), 1070 American Indians or Alaska Natives (0.4%), and 5947 Asians or Pacific Islanders (2.4%). Incidences of glioblastoma, non-glioblastoma astrocytoma, and oligodendroglial tumors were higher among non-Hispanic whites than among Hispanic whites (30% lower overall), blacks (52% lower overall), American Indians or Alaska Natives (58% lower overall), or Asians or Pacific Islanders (52% lower overall). Most tumors were more common in males than in females across all race or ethnicity groups, with the great difference in glioblastoma where the incidence was 60% higher overall in males. Most tumors (193?329 [79.9%]) occurred in those aged 45 years or older, with differences in incidence by race or ethnicity appearing in all age groups. Survival after diagnosis of glioma of different subtypes was generally comparable among Hispanic whites, blacks, and Asians or Pacific Islanders but was lower among non-Hispanic whites for many tumor types, including glioblastoma, irrespective of treatment type.Conclusions and relevanceIncidence of glioma and 1-year and 5-year survival rates after diagnosis vary significantly by race or ethnicity, with non-Hispanic whites having higher incidence and lower survival rates compared with individuals of other racial or ethnic groups. These findings can inform future discovery of risk factors and reveal unaddressed health disparities.

Project description:ImportanceOver the past 2 decades, there has been increased attention and effort to reduce disparities in live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) for black, Hispanic, and Asian patients with end-stage kidney disease. The goal of this study was to investigate whether these efforts have been successful.ObjectiveTo estimate changes over time in racial/ethnic disparities in LDKT in the United States, accounting for differences in death and deceased donor kidney transplantation.Design, setting, and participantsA secondary analysis of a prospectively maintained cohort study conducted in the United States of 453 162 adult first-time kidney transplantation candidates included in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients between January 1, 1995, and December 31, 2014, with follow-up through December 31, 2016.ExposuresRace/ethnicity.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary study outcome was time to LDKT. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards and competing risk models were constructed to assess changes in racial/ethnic disparities in LDKT among adults on the deceased donor kidney transplantation waiting list and interaction terms were used to test the statistical significance of temporal changes in racial/ethnic differences in receipt of LDKT. The adjusted subhazard ratios are estimates derived from the multivariable competing risk models. Data were categorized into 5-year increments (1995-1999, 2000-2004, 2005-2009, 2010-2014) to allow for an adequate sample size in each analytical cell.ResultsAmong 453 162 adult kidney transplantation candidates (mean [SD] age, 50.9 [13.1] years; 39% were women; 48% were white; 30%, black; 16%, Hispanic; and 6%, Asian), 59 516 (13.1%) received LDKT. Overall, there were 39 509 LDKTs among white patients, 8926 among black patients, 8357 among Hispanic patients, and 2724 among Asian patients. In 1995, the cumulative incidence of LDKT at 2 years after appearing on the waiting list was 7.0% among white patients, 3.4% among black patients, 6.8% among Hispanic patients, and 5.1% among Asian patients. In 2014, the cumulative incidence of LDKT was 11.4% among white patients, 2.9% among black patients, 5.9% among Hispanic patients, and 5.6% among Asian patients. From 1995-1999 to 2010-2014, racial/ethnic disparities in the receipt of LDKT increased (P < .001 for all statistical interaction terms in adjusted models comparing white patients vs black, Hispanic, and Asian patients). In 1995-1999, compared with receipt of LDKT among white patients, the adjusted subhazard ratio was 0.45 (95% CI, 0.42-0.48) among black patients, 0.83 (95% CI, 0.77-0.88) among Hispanic patients, and 0.56 (95% CI, 0.50-0.63) among Asian patients. In 2010-2014, compared with receipt of LDKT among white patients, the adjusted subhazard ratio was 0.27 (95% CI, 0.26-0.28) among black patients, 0.52 (95% CI, 0.50-0.54) among Hispanic patients, and 0.42 (95% CI, 0.39-0.45) among Asian patients.Conclusions and relevanceAmong adult first-time kidney transplantation candidates in the United States who were added to the deceased donor kidney transplantation waiting list between 1995 and 2014, disparities in the receipt of live donor kidney transplantation increased from 1995-1999 to 2010-2014. These findings suggest that national strategies for addressing disparities in receipt of live donor kidney transplantation should be revisited.
