Abstract: Disparities in healthcare access prevent uniform distribution of the best possible care to all individuals. Accessing pediatric surgical care requires parents to navigate complex healthcare systems. Disparities in comprehension, socioeconomics, and provider biases may disproportionately impact different racial and ethnic groups. Pediatric surgical disparities are largely unknown as studies are limited to specific pathology or are single center with minimal assessment of sociodemographic variables1-3. Larger studies of pediatric surgical epidemiology are limited to either inpatient or outpatient database studies without assessment of patient racial or socioeconomic associations4,5. Here, we report a nationally representative health survey to assess disparities in pediatric surgical care in the United States from 1999-2018.
