To assess the racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes and their association with process of care measures for Medicare elderly with localized prostate cancer. We used SEER-Medicare databases for the period 1995–2003. African American, non-Hispanic white and Hispanic men with localized prostate cancer were identified and data was obtained for the one year period prior to the diagnosis of prostate cancer and up to eight years of post-diagnosis period. Short-term outcomes were complications, ER visits, readmissions and mortality. Long-term outcomes were prostate cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. Process of care measures were treatment and time to treatment. Cox proportional hazard, logistic and Poisson regressions were used to study the racial and ethnic disparities in outcomes and their association with process of care measures. Compared with non-Hispanic white patients, African-American patients (Hazard ration [HR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CE], 1.19-1.86) and Hispanic patients (HR=1.39; 95% CI-1.03-1.84) had greater hazard of long term prostate specific mortality. African American patients had higher odds of ER visits (Odds Ratio=1.4, CI=1.2, 1.7) and higher all-cause mortality (HR=1.39, CI=1.3, 1.5) compared to white patients. Time to treatment was longer for African American patients and was indicative of higher hazard of all-cause long-term mortality. Hispanic patients receiving surgery or radiation had higher hazard of long-term prostate-specific mortality compared to white patients receiving hormone therapy. Racial and ethnic disparity in outcome is associated with process of care measures (type and time to treatment). There exists opportunity to reduce these disparities by addressing the process of care measures.
