The intersection of race and social determinants of health on clinical outcome of glioblastoma patients

CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to report on race and SDoH of a cohort using the latest WHO criteria for GBM classification. In contrast to previous literature, the study cohort exhibits a higher proportion of non-White patients with GBM, similar to the representation of non-White individuals in the general US population. This study corroborates the impact of SDoH and not race on LOS and discharge location. Initiatives to identify and address these barriers are crucial for enhancing the care of all GBM patients.PMID:38579343 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232702
