[Evaluation of management disparity in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in France]
Résumé
Environmental factors have an impact on the effectiveness of treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia vulnerability, organization of the supply of care and proximity of the patient to health professionals. The disparity of care was assessed; vulnerability by the European index of deprivation, the provision of care by values of localized potential accessibility to general practitioners, nurses and pharmacists and hospital supply by the density of hematologists and time access to the center. The data, extracted from the public databases for each grouped island for statistical information, were cross-referenced to apply a principal component analysis and group them into 4 clusters. Cluster 1 has an average EDI, easy access to city professionals, remote access to the referral center, and a good density of hematologists. Cluster 2 has low EDI, satisfactory access to professionals, satisfactory proximity to the referral center and average density of hematologists. Cluster 3 has good EDI, access to professionals is difficult, access to the reference center is long, and the density of hematologists remains average. Cluster 4 has a good EDI, with access to professionals easier than in Cluster 3 but still difficult. The access time to the reference center is better than that of cluster 3 but remains elongated, the density of hematologists remaining average. Mapping is a tool for hospitals and institutions to evaluate care and compare it to other territories.
