Abstract

This study aims to analyze how access to care influences patient mortality rates after liver transplants in adults by analyzing the relationships between insurance coverage, income, geographic location, and mortality rates post-transplantation. It was hypothesized that a sociodemographic variable, such as insurance type, geographical location, and income level would impact mortality rates post-liver transplant. Results showed that unknown insurance coverage increased the likelihood of mortality post-transplant, income level was not found to be a significant indicator, and patients living in the Northeast region of the United States were more likely to die post-liver transplant.
