美國退伍軍人面對藥物獲取不平等現象




美國少數族裔退伍軍人面臨不平等的Ozempic和Wegovy藥物獲取

根據一項周一發表的患者數據回顧,美國軍事退伍軍人在獲取Novo Nordisk(NYSE:NVO)需求旺盛的糖尿病和減重藥物方面,面臨種族和民族的不平等。這項研究是在美國退伍軍人日假期進行的,由加利福尼亞州門洛帕克的VA帕洛阿爾托醫療系統的Rebecca Tisdale博士領導。

在美國退伍軍人事務醫療系統中,黑人患者以及亞裔或美洲原住民血統的患者在接受semaglutide(Ozempic和Wegovy的有效成分)方面,獲得的機會低於白人患者。研究人員分析了在美國退伍軍人醫療機構中,190萬名超重或肥胖的患者數據,其中近80.9萬名患者患有糖尿病。

研究發現,黑人糖尿病患者獲得semaglutide處方的機會比白人患者低26%,而沒有糖尿病的黑人患者的機會則低9%。然而,對於被認定為美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民和亞裔/夏威夷原住民的退伍軍人,糖尿病患者獲得semaglutide處方的機會比白人患者低17%。

研究報告指出:“在所有少數族裔群體中,糖尿病患者的治療不足問題最為嚴重。”研究人員強調,這一令人擔憂的趨勢可能反映了更深層的差異,指出某些種族和民族群體在獲取這些新型療法方面本身就面臨挑戰,而那些擁有多重指徵的患者——最有可能從中獲益——則遭受的治療不足問題最為嚴重。

Tisdale博士表示:“隨著製造商的供應和患者及醫生的需求不斷變化,VA在分配GLP-1受體激動劑(如semaglutide)方面的政策仍在不斷演變。”她將在即將舉行的美國心臟協會科學會議上介紹這些發現。她希望類似的研究能確保在制定相關規範時,公平性能被明確考慮。

這項研究揭示了美國醫療系統中仍然存在的種族不平等問題,尤其是在獲取重要藥物方面。雖然退伍軍人醫療系統本身不應存在保險障礙,但現實中卻顯示出不同族裔之間的明顯差異。這不僅反映了醫療資源分配的不公,也突顯了需要進一步改革的緊迫性,以確保所有患者都能公平地獲得所需的醫療服務和藥物。

這份研究的結果不僅引起了醫療界的關注,也為政策制定者提供了重要的數據支持,促使他們在未來的醫療政策中更加考慮到少數族裔的需求。希望這些發現能夠促進更全面的醫療改革,從而改善所有患者的健康狀況,特別是那些在獲取醫療服務方面面臨挑戰的群體。
