Abstract

Race/ethnicity and individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) may contribute to health disparities in liver transplant (LT) outcomes. The socioeconomic conditions of a neighborhood may either mitigate or exacerbate these health disparities. This retrospective study investigated the relationship between race/ethnicity, individual- and neighborhood-level SES, and LT outcomes, and whether neighborhood-level SES modified the relationship between individual factors and LT outcomes. Adult individuals who underwent LT between 2010 and 2019 ( n  = 55,688) were identified from the United Network for Organ Sharing database. Primary exposures were race/ethnicity, education, primary insurance type, and the Social Deprivation Index (SDI) scores. Education and primary insurance type were used as proxies for individual-level SES, while SDI scores were used as a proxy for neighborhood-level SES. The primary outcome was time to occurrence of graft failure or mortality. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the associations between the exposures and outcomes. LT recipients who were Black (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.27, p
