The article explores the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on neurosurgical outcomes and the potential for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs to address health disparities. It highlights racial and socioeconomic disparities in neurosurgical outcomes and the limited consideration of SDOH in ERAS studies. The article emphasizes the need for further research and interdisciplinary collaboration to integrate SDOH into ERAS protocols and reduce health disparities. [Extracted from the article]
