The Effect of Insurance Status on Pediatric Access to Care in Sports Medicine

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a study on the impact of insurance status on access to sports medicine care for pediatric patients. The study found that patients with Medicaid or uninsured insurance had delayed presentations compared to those with private insurance. The research focused on ACL reconstruction and bucket handle meniscal injuries. The results showed that a higher percentage of patients with Medicaid or pro bono insurance had delayed presentations of more than 30 days. This was statistically significant. The study suggests that further research is needed to understand the disparities in access to care and potential consequences on patient outcomes. No specific credits were mentioned in the video.
