There was no significant trend in the incidence of PA by county-level SES overall (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.98, 95% CI 0.96\u20131.00, p = 0.05, comparing highest to lowest quintile of SES). Among Asian or Pacific Islander (API; IRR 0.82, 95% CI 0.71\u20130.95, p = 0.007) and American Indian\/Alaska Native (AIAN) participants (IRR 0.82, 95% CI 0.71\u20130.95, p = 0.009), the incidence of PA was statistically significantly lower with higher SES, while among Black individuals, the incidence of PA was higher with higher SES (IRR 1.10, 95% CI 1.05\u20131.15, p < 0.001, comparing 5th to 1st quintile of SES). Higher SES quintile was associated with surgical treatment of PA (OR 1.04, 95% CI 0.99\u20131.09, comparing highest to lowest quintile, p value for trend = 0.02). Males were more likely than females to undergo surgery (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.47\u20131.53, p < 0.001), and Black (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86\u20130.91, p < 0.001) and AIAN individuals (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78\u20130.99, p = 0.04) were less likely to undergo surgery than White individuals, whereas API individuals were more likely to undergo surgery (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.09\u20131.21, p < 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n Higher county-level SES in the US was associated with a higher incidence of PA among Black individuals, but not among White individuals, while API and AIAN individuals had a lower PA incidence with higher SES. After multivariable adjustment, higher county-level SES was associated with surgical treatment of PA, and White and API individuals were significantly more likely to undergo surgery than Black or AIAN individuals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2023.6.jns23342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,25]],"date-time":"2023-08-25T23:36:37Z","timestamp":1693006597000},"page":"724-734","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association between county-level socioeconomic status and the incidence of and surgical treatment for pituitary adenoma"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"140","author":[{"given":"David J.","family":"Cote","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California;"},{"name":"Center for Genetic Epidemiology, Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carol","family":"Kruchko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, Hinsdale, Illinois;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jill S.","family":"Barnholtz-Sloan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, Hinsdale, Illinois;"},{"name":"Trans-Divisional Research Program (TDRP), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Zada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph L.","family":"Wiemels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Genetic Epidemiology, Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Quinn T.","family":"Ostrom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, Hinsdale, Illinois;"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina;"},{"name":"Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"b1","series-title":"Pituitary","first-page":"486","article-title":"Pituitary incidentalomas","volume":"17","author":"Scangas GA","year":"2014","unstructured":"Scangas GA, Laws ER Jr. Pituitary incidentalomas.
