Rates of Hirschsprung-Associated Enterocolitis Decrease With Increasing Child Opportunity Index

Abstract

Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Hirschsprung disease (HD). There is a correlation between social determinants of health (SDOH) and outcomes in children with HD. The Child Opportunity Index (COI) is a publicly available dataset that stratifies patients by address into levels of opportunity. We aimed to understand if a relationship exists between COI and HAEC.
