CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; med, median; IQR, interquartile range; SES, socio-economic status.
Neighborhood SES was estimated using ZIP code Social Deprivation Index (SDI) scores; scores were then split into quartiles.
Among those who died within 1-year of their ostomy placement.
Adjusted for patient sex, age, race/ethnicity, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score, frailty score, and cirrhosis; age, CCI score, and frailty score were modeled as restricted quadratic splines; 30-day complications and ostomy revision were not included in the model because they were considered mediators.
