What is Our Current Multicultural Reality? Bob Carrico, PhD Sr. Biostatistician – Bob.Carrico@UNOS.org United Network for Organ Sharing Richmond, VA
Introduction / Outline • Can we find standout OPOs using current national DSA level data? • Metric: Authorization Rate • Authorization of Eligible Deaths – Percent by OPO. • By ethnicities: White, Black, Hispanic, Asian • Can we find statistical significance? • Where does this leave us?
Study Purpose • Use data to show OPOs that are top performers • Want to find factors that influence this • Data • Geography and Population • Philosophies, Procedures, Techniques • How can OPOs look at data to study trends • How can this influence practice?
Ethnicity Comparison: Approach • Logistic Regression: Odds Ratios • Probability of an event = Y (where 0 < Y < 1) Odds of same event = Y / (1-Y) • Example • Authorization Rate for Group A: 80% Odds of Authorization are 4.00 = .8/.2 • Authorization Rate for Group B: 40% Odds of Authorization are 0.67 = .4/.6 • Odds Ratio of A versus B (4.00) / (0.67) = 6.00 • “The odds of authorization for group A are 6 times higher than the odds for group B” • Odds Ratios Adjusted for age; gender; cause, mechanism, and circumstance of death. • Using Hierarchical Generalized Linear Model • Eligible deaths at each OPO are under similar circumstances
Ethnicity Comparison: Result • Odds of Authorization: • White 4.3 times higher than Asian • White 3.1 times higher than Black • White 2.3 times higher than Hispanic • Significant OPO level variation (p<0.01) • Significant variation exists between ethnicities, how to inform best practices?
Finding Top Performers Analysis Approach • Odds Ratio: • Odds of Authorization for Candidate OPOs • Define criteria for Candidate OPOs • Compare to adjusted average of other candidate OPOs and non-candidate OPOs • How to select OPOs to test when there are many • Which OPOs can be candidates? • Logistic Regression Models • Compute adjusted odds ratios • Are candidate OPOs more likely to authorize individuals of a given ethnicity? • Adjust for: • Age; Gender; Cause, Mechanism, and Circumstance of Death.

Comparative Summary • Analysis Previously Studied for 1-year Rollback 4-year Cohort • Do OPOs vary in authorization rate annually?
White Ethnicity Longitudinal Trend Includes all OPOs meeting the sample size restriction for top performer analysis.
Black Ethnicity Longitudinal Trend Includes all OPOs meeting the sample size restriction for top performer analysis.
