Disparities in Surgical Access: A Systematic Literature Review, Conceptual Model, and Evidence Map
Open accessAbstract
[Extract] Healthcare disparities in quality represent one of the greatest challenges in achieving uniformly high-quality care. Research reporting disparities in surgical outcomes are abundant. The cornerstone of delivering high-quality healthcare is ensuring optimal access for all patients. A relative lack of access to surgical services might be a contributing factor to disparities in surgical outcomes. Access is "the timely use of personal health services to achieve the best possible outcomes." Use of services, the process of entering and staying in the system, and the actual quality of care received are all involved. Disparities in access arise when the system disproportionately underperforms for a specific group of patients relative to the historically advantaged population.8, 9 Surgery, because of its time sensitive, often high-acuity nature, is greatly dependent on access.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“In others, surgical disparities persist when controlling for these variables, suggesting that there are additional, unknown mechanisms driving observed disparities that warrant closer examination.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
