Race and Insurance Status Disparities in Post-discharge Disposition After Hospitalization for Major Trauma.

Patient race, insurance status, and injury severity were predictive of post-hospitalization care discharge. Self-pay and Black patients were less likely to be discharged to secondary care facilities. These findings have the potential to improve in-hospital patient management and predict discharge secondary care needs, and necessitate the need for future research to investigate the extent of inequalities in access to trauma care.
