Impact of socioeconomic status on incidence of end-stage renal disease and mortality after dialysis in adults with diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether low socioeconomic status (SES), with or without universal drug coverage, predicts end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and survival after dialysis in patients with diabetes. Results showed that low SES was inversely associated with ESRD outcomes in individuals with diabetes, and this disparity was reduced in those age 65 and older who universally received prescription drug coverage. Low SES was associated with a higher mortality after dialysis, largely explained by lower kidney transplantation rates in poorer populations.
