Abstract:Difference-in-difference analysis revealed that for Black, Asian, Hispanic and Native Americans, disparities widened in the wake of PPS though the degree of widening attenuated following ACA. Conclusions: We found a significant racial disparity in the recording of anemia as a complication among ESRD patients. The PPS and ACA policies appear to have driven an increase in recording of anemia but these policies exerted differential impacts on anemia-related racial disparities.
