Demographic and clinical characteristics
Demographic and clinical patient characteristics grouped by race/ethnicity are presented in Table 1. For subsequent analyses, patients were categorized as White (46.5%), Black (11.6%), Hispanic (33.7%), or Native Americans (8.1%). The median follow-up time between HSCT and last follow up was 7.23 years. Of the 86 patients included in the study, an equal number (n = 43, 50%) had been diagnosed with malignant and non-malignant conditions. Across racial/ethnic categories, there were no significant differences in the types of conditioning regimen received by the patients, the donor type (match), the donor source, and CMV status of donor and recipient. There were significant differences in the insurance type of patients across racial and ethnic categories. While 86.2% of Hispanic patients, 70% of Black patients, and 71.4% of Native American patients had Medicaid insurance, most White patients (62.5%) had private insurance (p = 0.0005). In addition, there were differences in household income by patient race; most patients receiving transplants lived in areas where the median household income is above $50,000 (72.4% for Hispanic patients, 82.0% for White patients, and 80.0% for Black patients), where only 28.6% of Native American patients lived in areas with this higher median income (p = 0.03).
