Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was examined for the years 2010 to 2014 to incorporate adult MVPCI-related hospitalizations using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) procedure codes. We excluded patients with the missing race or gender data from the final scrutiny. Discharge weights were used to obtain the national estimations. The principal outcomes were MVPCI-related racial and gender disparities in terms of the in-hospital mortality and complications, and diagnostic and therapeutic healthcare resource utilization. Secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay (LOS) and hospitalization charges. We used the Chi-square test and t-test/ANOVA test to equate dichotomous and continuous variables respectively.
