Association of patient characteristics with the receipt of regional anesthesia.
Regional anesthesia (RA) may improve patient-related outcomes, including decreased operative complications, shortened recovery times, and lower hospital readmission rates. More analyses are needed using a diverse set of databases to examine characteristics associated with the receipt of RA. ⋯ RA use varies with respect to race, insurance status, and type of surgery.
