This study aimed to compare the catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) and impoverishment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients between 2 ethnic groups and explore the contribution of associated factors to ethnic differences in CHE and impoverishment in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China.A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2 public hospitals from October 2016 to June 2017. Data were collected by interviewing eligible Hui and Han T2DM inpatients and reviewing the hospital electronic records. Both CHE and impoverishment were measured by headcount and gap. The contributions of associated factors to ethnic differences were analyzed by the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition technique.Both the CHE and impoverishment of Hui patients before and after reimbursement were significantly higher than those of Han patients. The ethnic differences in CHE and impoverishment headcount after reimbursement were 11.9% and 9.8%, respectively. The different distributions of associated factors between Hui and Han patients contributed to 60.5% and 35.7% of ethnic differences in CHE and impoverishment, respectively. Household income, occupation, and region were significant contributing factors.Hui T2DM patients suffered greater CHE and impoverishment than Han patients regardless of reimbursements from health insurance. Differences in socioeconomic status between Hui and Han patients were the main factors behind the ethnic differences.
