Long-term health care utilization after cardiac surgery in children covered under Medicaid.
The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term burden of health care expenditures and utilization after pediatric cardiac surgery to improve care and reduce outcome inequities. The study compared children under the age of 18 undergoing cardiac surgery from 2006-2019 to a similar cohort of children without cardiac surgical disease. The research concluded that children after cardiac surgery have substantial long-term health care needs than noncardiac surgical comparators.

Practice style variation in Medicaid and non-Medicaid children with complex chronic conditions undergoing surgery.
With differential payment between Medicaid and Non-Medicaid services, researchers asked whether style-of-practice differs between similar Medicaid and Non-Medicaid children with complex chronic conditions (CCCs) undergoing surgery. They found that treatment style differences between Medicaid and Non-Medicaid children were small, suggesting little disparity with in-hospital surgical care for patients with CCCs operated on within Children's Hospitals.
