Racial and ethnic differences in receipt of pressure equalization tubes among US children, 2014.
More than 20 years ago, differences according to race/ethnicity in the national prevalence of having had pressure equalization tubes (PETs) placed were documented. This study found that, as of 2014, nearly 9 percent of US children have had PETs placed. Non-Hispanic white children still have a greater prevalence of PET placement compared with non-Hispanic black and Hispanic children.
AHRQ-funded; HS022932.
