| Popis: | Introduction: Ethnic disparities in prognosis after a cardiovascular event have been reported. We investigated differences in mortality and readmission after a first hospital admission for total cardiovascular disease (CVD), AMI, CVA, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and congestive heart failure (CHF) between several ethnic minority groups and the Dutch majority population. Methods: A nationwide prospective cohort of CVD patients hospitalized between 1998 and 2010 was constructed (N=776,574). Differences in short- and long-term mortality and readmission (0-28 days after admission and 28 days-5 years after admission respectively) between first generation ethnic minority groups (henceforth: migrants) and the Dutch majority population were calculated using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models . Results: In particular mortality after AMI and CVA was higher in migrants compared to the Dutch majority population, except for Moroccans. Short- (HR 1.36; 1.07-1.74) and long-term ( HR 1.45; 1.20-1.75) mortality after CVD was the highest in Chinese migrants. Short-term readmission rates were similar between migrants and the Dutch majority population, except after AMI where mainly lower rates were found (HR:0.37-1.26). Long-term readmission rates were also similar to the Dutch majority population, except after CHF where readmission rates were lower (HR varies between 0.67-0.95), and after AMI where readmission rates for AMI were higher (HR varies between 1.24-1.83). Conclusion: Short- and long-term mortality after CVD is higher in migrant groups than in the Dutch majority population, except after CHF. Differences in readmission rates were more similar to the Dutch majority population, with some fluctuations between sub diseases and migrant groups. |
