- W4309076156 abstract "ObjectiveThe COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic has led to a rapid expansion in the use of telemedicine across all medical fields but has also exposed telehealth care disparities with differing access to technology across racial and ethnic groups. The objective of our study was to investigate the effects of telehealth on vascular visit compliance and to explore the effects of sociodemographic factors on vascular surgery outpatient telehealth usage during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsConsecutive patients who had undergone an outpatient vascular surgery evaluation between February 24, 2020 (the launch of our telemedicine program) and December 31, 2020, were reviewed. The baseline demographic and outcomes were obtained from the electronic medical records. Telehealth and in-person evaluations were defined according to the patient’s index visit during the study period. Medical visit compliance was established on completion of the telehealth or in-person encounter. We used χ2 tests and logistic regression analyses.ResultsA total of 23,553 outpatient visits had been scheduled for 10,587 patients during the study period. Of the outpatient visits, 1559 had been scheduled telehealth encounters compared with 21,994 scheduled in-person encounters. Of the scheduled outpatient encounters, 13,900 medical visits (59.0%) had been completed: 1183 telehealth visits and 12,717 in-person visits. The mean travel distance saved for the telehealth visits was 22.1 ± 27.1 miles, and the mean travel time saved was 46.3 ± 41.47 minutes. We noted no sociodemographic differences between the patients scheduled for telehealth vs in-person visits. We found a trend toward a lower proportion of African-American patients in the telehealth group vs the in-person group (7.8% vs 10.6%; P = .116), without statistical significance. A significantly higher rate of medical visit completion was found for the telehealth group compared with the in-person group (79.5% vs 59.4%; P < .001). Among the patients scheduled for an outpatient medical visit, a scheduled telemedicine evaluation (vs in-person) was associated with 2.3 times the odds of completing the medical visit (odds ratio, 2.31; 95% confidence interval, 2.05-2.61), adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity, language, and the distance between the patient’s home zip code and the outpatient vascular center’s zip code. Selecting for scheduled telemedicine visits, African-American race was associated with a decreased odds of telemedicine usage (odds ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.59-0.90) after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, language, and visit type.ConclusionsUse of the vascular surgery outpatient telehealth evaluation appeared to improve medical visit completion in our region with apparent sociodemographic disparities. Further studies are needed to confirm whether telemedicine expansion has improved access to care in other geographic areas." @default.
