Racial and ethnic disparities in the presentation size and timing of pituitary adenomas resected via endoscopic endonasal approach

Abstract

Key points In a single‐center cohort of pituitary adenoma patients, non‐White race independently predicted larger tumor size at initial presentation. Uninsured patients suffered a significantly higher rate of pituitary apoplexy at initial presentation. Geographically distant care appeared to present a greater barrier for non‐White and Hispanic patients relative to their White and non‐Hispanic counterparts.
