BackgroundCurrently, there are more than six million Venezuelan immigrants worldwide. This study aimed to estimate the association between disability and failure to seek medical care among Venezuelan immigrants in Peru. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data of the Encuesta Dirigida a la Poblacion Venezolana que Reside en el Pais (ENPOVE) 2018. We developed four Poisson regression models and calculated prevalence ratios (PR) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). ResultsAfter adjusting for multiple confounding variables, we found that immigrants who reported having only one type of disability were 78% more likely not to seek medical care compared with immigrants without disability (PR = 1.78; 95% CI 1.15-2.76). ConclusionsVenezuelan immigrants with disabilities in Peru seek less medical care than those without disabilities.
