Patients with low SDOH were more likely to be non\u2010Hispanic black than patients without low SDOH (18% vs 4.5%) and more likely to have Medicaid insurance (62% vs 32%). Children with low SDOH traveled further for surgery than children without low SDOH (40 miles vs 20 miles). Time from surgery order to surgery was longer in children with low SDOH than those without even when adjusted for race\/ethnicity, insurance, and clinical features. Time from last ear infection to initial presentation was also longer for children with low SDOH than for others in our unadjusted analysis; however, those with low SDOH had a shorter time in our adjusted analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Children with low SDOH traveled longer distances for care and experienced significant delays to surgery.
