Kim JJ, et al. - In order to assess health care providers’ awareness of racial disparities in kidney transplant waitlisting and to determine the factors related to awareness, researchers carried out a cross-sectional analysis of a survey of providers from low-waitlisting dialysis facilities across all 18 ESRD networks administered in 2016 in the United States merged with 2014 US Renal Data System and 2014 US Census data. Of 655 providers surveyed, 19% were aware of the national racial disparity in waitlisting. Unawareness was more likely to be seen in facilities in the South (vs the Northeast) and facilities with a low percentage of blacks (vs a high percentage of blacks) were more likely to be unaware. Overall, low provider awareness of racial disparities in kidney transplant waitlisting was noted among a limited sample of dialysis facilities with low waitlisting. This was particularly observed among staff who may have more routine contact with patients.
