Influence of socioeconomic status on postoperative outcomes in acute type A aortic dissection repair.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Type A aortic dissection repair is an emergency operation associated with both higher perioperative and postoperative risk. This study investigates the influence of socioeconomic status, as measured by the Distressed Communities Index (DCI), on patients who underwent acute aortic dissection repair and their postoperative outcomes. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 240 adult patients who underwent repair for acute Stanford Type A aortic dissection from 2009 to 2021. Patients were categorized into an at-risk group (DCI score ≥75) and a not-at-risk group (DCI score <75) based on their zip code. We collected demographic, clinical, operative, and postoperative outcomes, analyzing data using descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis assessed 5-year survival outcomes. Results: At-risk patients were significantly younger (52 vs 59 years; Conclusions: Patients undergoing urgent surgery for acute Type A aortic dissection have similar postoperative outcomes, although at-risk patients may experience longer hospital stays and higher respiratory failure rates. Further study is necessary to understand the effect of DCI score on intermediate and long-term outcomes to mitigate social disparities and diminish modifiable risk factors.
