Article Synopsis
- Socioeconomic determinants of health (SDOH) are often overlooked in assessing risks for urological surgeries, which may lead to disparities in patient outcomes, particularly after minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP).
- A study using data from over 100,000 patients revealed that about 6% reported SDOH, which were linked to a 24% increased risk of complications post-surgery, including higher rates of urinary tract infections and acute kidney injuries.
