本DataWatch基于1988年纽约市的医院使用模式，研究了社会经济差异对住院率的潜在影响。研究表明，缺乏及时有效的门诊治疗可能导致低收入地区的住院率较高。对于某些被确定为门诊护理敏感的疾病，低收入地区的住院率高于高收入地区，因为高收入地区更容易获得适当的门诊护理。需要进一步研究，以确定各种经济，结构和文化因素的相对影响，影响获得护理。
This DataWatch examines the potential impact of socioeconomic differences on rates of hospitalization, based on patterns of hospital use in New York City in 1988. The research suggests that lack of timely and effective outpatient care may lead to higher hospitalization rates in low-income areas. For certain conditions identified as ambulatory care sensitive, hospitalization rates were higher in low-income areas than they were in higher-income areas where appropriate outpatient care was more readily available. Further study is needed to determine the relative impact of various economic, structural, and cultural factors that affect access to care.
