Abstract | Objectives: Multiple factors have been associated with lower satisfaction scores. We hypothesize that patients with a more deprived socioeconomic status will have different patient satisfaction scores than patients of higher socioeconomic status. Methods: We reviewed Press Ganey satisfaction scores for new, outpatient visits between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2018. Due to the high ceiling effects of the survey, "satisfaction" was defined as achieving a perfect score of 100. We determined social deprivation using the 2015 Area Deprivation Index (ADI) which serves as a proxy for socioeconomic status derived from zip codes. Patient satisfaction was defined as a binary variable. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors correlated with patient satisfaction. Results: There were 3239 unique new patients with completed surveys. Univariate analysis demonstrated decreased odds of achieving satisfaction for both the Total Score and Provider Sub-Score for each decile increase in ADI (OR 0.94; CI = 0.908-0.981; Conclusions: Increased social deprivation was an independent predictor of lower patient satisfaction in otolaryngology outpatients using the Press Ganey survey. This non-modifiable outcome should be taken into consideration when evaluating patient satisfaction scores and offers further support to the need of addressing and improving healthcare discrepancies in the field of otolaryngology. Level of evidence: Level 3. |
