GIL-BORRELLI, CC et al. Causes of hospital admission and morbidity according to gender identity in the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.209-216. Epub 25-Jan-2021. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0861.
The objective was to identify differences in health between transgender (trans) and cisgender (cis) people using the hospital discharge survey from the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Their characteristics, causes of admission and morbidities were described, comparing them by prevalence ratio and confidence interval (95% CI). One hundred and twelve trans vs 1,043,621 cis discharges were studied. The main differences were that more frequently trans people had been attended in a single center (55.4 vs. 9.3%), were under 49 years old (75.9 vs. 37.1%) and had used private health services (2.7 vs. 0.4%). Admissions related to mental health problems (23.96; 95% CI: 17.41-32.78) and HIV morbidity (11.26 95% CI: 5.46-20.93) were more frequent among trans discharges. Information is limited beyond body modification, mental health, and HIV. It is necessary to improve the knowledge about trans population’s health.
