SES was measured using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality SES index using data from the 2014 American Community Survey. In the study cohort, SES did not have an association with the combined end point of death or delisting on LVAD support (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.30). In a cause-specific unadjusted model, those in the top (hazard ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.14\u20132.11;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.005) and second greatest SES quartile (hazard ratio 1.50; 95% confidence interval, 1.10\u20132.04;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.01) had an increased risk of death on device support compared with the lowest SES quartile. Adjusting for clinical risk factors mitigated the increased risk. There was no association between SES and complications. Post-HT survival, both crude and adjusted, was decreased for patients in the lowest quartile of SES index compared with all other SES quartiles.\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Freedom from waitlist death or delisting was not affected by SES. Patients with a higher SES had an increased unadjusted risk of waitlist mortality during LVAD support, which was mitigated by adjusting for increased comorbid conditions. Low SES was associated with worse post-HT outcomes. Further study is needed to confirm and understand a differential effect of SES on post-transplant outcomes that was not seen during LVAD support before HT.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circheartfailure.116.003215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,8]],"date-time":"2016-10-08T03:30:02Z","timestamp":1475897402000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Patients Supported With a Left Ventricular Assist Device"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kevin J.","family":"Clerkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Divisions of Cardiology (K.J.C., A.R.G., B.W., R.C.G., M.Y., P.C.C., V.K.T.) and Palliative Medicine (S.N.), Department of Medicine and Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery (K.T., H.T., Y.N.), Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY;
