Abstract

Purpose of Review

There has been increasing focus on the disparate health outcomes in children, with multiple studies showing an association between different social determinants of health and poor outcomes. However, the impact of the variety of social determinants of health on outcomes for children with heart disease has been less well defined. We sought to summarize the impact of each of the major social determinants of health as they pertain to this patient population.

Recent Findings

Disparities by race/ethnicity continue to be the most documented health inequity in the pediatric cardiology field. Additionally, there is increasing focus on the contribution of neighborhood environment, language access, and mediating effects of maternal environment.

Summary

There are disparate outcomes along almost all social determinants of health for children with cardiac disease. Given the wealth of this data, there is compelling evidence that next steps should be aimed at addressing these disparities.
