Novel patient-level social determinants of health measure predicts colon cancer outcomes within an integrated health network.
Traditional social determinants of health measures rely on population-level data, limiting the ability to assess individual patient-level factors. This study explores the influence of a novel, patient-level social determinants of health measure on oncologic outcomes in patients with colon cancer.
