Sociodemographic factors and Child Opportunity Index disparities associated with missed care opportunities in pediatric patients with lymphoma and leukemia referred for FDG-PET/CT

ConclusionChildren with lymphoma/leukemia, living in zip codes with very low or low COI, and who identified as Black/African American non-Hispanic/Latino experienced more MCOs. Our study supports the need to address intersecting sociodemographic, neighborhood, and health system factors that will improve equitable access to necessary healthcare imaging for children.Graphical abstract
