Low incidence of hospitalization with XXXX among @entity234 in the United States.

@entity1 @entity1085 @entity28 @entity234 @entity393 @entity1068
Low rates of @entity1085 among @entity234 have been reported but not systematically studied. The authors investigated the rate of hospitalization with a diagnosis of @entity1085 in the follow-up in 1982-1984 of the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a population-based study conducted across the United States in 1971-1975. Based on hospital discharge diagnoses of @entity1085 , 368 cases were identified for the period 1971-1984 among 10,551 @entity1 , aged 25-74 years, who denied @entity1085 at the baseline examination. The crude incidence of @entity1085 per 1,000 @entity1 -years was 2.59 for white @entity1 , 1.45 for black @entity1 , 4.09 for white @entity1 , and 2.35 for black @entity1 . Controlling for @entity28 , parity, @entity1068 consumption, use of diuretics, use of oral contraceptives, and two indicators of socioeconomic status, the authors found that the hazard rate of hospitalization with @entity1085 increased with age for white @entity1 and @entity393 @entity1 . The hazard ratio for black @entity1 compared with white @entity1 at 30 years of age was 0.71 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.52-0.96, but at age 70, it was 0.18 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.09-0.37. For @entity1 , @entity28 and parity were important risk factors for @entity1085 (p less than or equal to 0.001), and the use of diuretics was marginally associated (p = 0.08). Black @entity1 compared with white @entity1 had a hazard rate of @entity1085 of 0.53 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.24-1.16. For @entity1 , increasing age was related to @entity1085 (p less than 0.001), and @entity28 was weakly related (p = 0.06). The black/white hazard ratios decreased further when controlling for socioeconomic status, persisted if the study population was limited to those hospitalized during follow-up, and increased slightly for cases with an acute complication of @entity1085 . Thus, differential access to medical care may not explain the lower rate among @entity234 .
