Figure 1.
Sankey diagram comparing the classification of socioeconomic status (SES) of 425 allograft recipients based on 4 surrogates of low SES. These low SES surrogates were: (1) neighborhood poverty (Area Deprivation Index [ADI] national percentile ≥60); (2) Medicaid as the primary insurance at bone marrow transplant referral; and/or financial support for (3) medical expenses, or (4) cost-of-living (ie, local accommodations, rent, utilities, transportation, and/or food) expenses within 6 months of the transplant date. The percentage of patients with low SES based on each surrogate is shown across the bottom of the figure. Although 138 patients had low SES based on ≥1 of these measures, only 55 had low SES based on ≥2, 10 based on ≥3 and none based on 4 measures, demonstrating that different patient groups were classified as low SES based on each surrogate.
