Opioid administration across racial and ethnic groups for patients undergoing liver resection: are there disparities?
Authors' conclusion
For patients undergoing liver resection surgery, no racial and ethnic disparities were observed for weight-based intraoperative MME.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Risk-adjusted mean intraoperative MME/kg
Asian vs White: P = 0.87 · Black vs White: P = 0.19 · Hispanic vs White: P = 0.97
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Secondary outcomes
| Outcome | Estimate (CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| LOSBlack vs White · multivariable model | 1.17 (1.00–1.35) | P = 0.047 |
| LOSHispanic vs White · multivariable model | 1.30 (1.05–1.65) | P = 0.018 |
Length of stay (LOS)
- LOS significantly higher for Black and Hispanic vs White
Receipt of regional anaesthesia
- No racial/ethnic group significantly associated with higher or lower odds
