Potentially preventable hospitalizations for congestive heart failure among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Hawai'i.
The authors studied congestive heart failure (CHF) hospitalizations among racial groups. They found that high preventable CHF hospitalization rates are seen in some Asian and Pacific Islander groups, especially Native Hawaiians and Filipinos, who have these hospitalizations at younger ages than other studied groups.

Disparities in potentially preventable hospitalizations for chronic conditions among Korean Americans, Hawaii, 2010-2012.
The researchers compared preventable hospitalizations for chronic conditions in aggregate and for congestive heart failure (CHF) for Korean Americans and whites in Hawaii. They found that older Korean American patients may have significant disparities in preventable hospitalizations, which suggests poor access to or poor quality of primary health care.
