Children from lower socioeconomic neighborhoods who had a heart transplant were more likely than those of a higher socioeconomic status to die or need another heart transplant, according to new 2009 research out of Dallas.
Researchers compared 45 children in the lowest socioeconomic group to the remaining two-thirds (controls).
“The new finding is the first time that low socioeconomic position has been associated with a higher risk of graft failure defined in this study as either death or needing a second transplant after a first heart transplant,” said Tajinder P. Singh, M.D., lead author of the study and a transplant cardiologist.
