Cytopenia is associated with cancer through mechanisms including clonal hematopoiesis and chronic inflammation. Cytopenia is more prevalent in Black people but its relationship with racial disparities...
Cytopenia was defined in 19,028 Black and White participants recruited between 2003 and 2007 for the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke cohort, based on age-, sex-, and race-adjus...
Cytopenia was identified in 383 (2%) participants, 250 (65%) White, and 113 (35%) Black people. With median follow-up 11.3 years, 1,224 (6.4%) cancer deaths occurred. Cytopenia was associated with inc...
In this large, observational biracial prospective study, cytopenia was a risk factor for cancer death, with stronger association in Black than White people. Though race impacted the association of cyt...
The burden of pain is unequal across demographic groups, with broad and persisting race differences in pain-related outcomes in the United States. Members of racial and ethnic minorities frequently re...
Clinical algorithms that incorporate race as a modifying factor to guide clinical decision-making have recently been criticized for propagating racial bias in medicine. Equations used to calculate lun...
To examine patients' perspectives on race and the use of race-based algorithms in clinical decision-making....
Qualitative study using semi-structured interviews....
Twenty-three adult patients recruited at a safety-net hospital in Boston, MA....
Interviews were analyzed using thematic content analysis and modified grounded theory....
Among the 23 study participants, 11 were women and 15 self-identified as Black or African American. Three categories of themes emerged: The first theme described definitions and the individual meaning...
Our findings suggest that most patients are unaware of how race has been used to make risk assessments and guide clinical care. Further research on patients' perspectives is needed to inform the devel...
Black Americans are exposed to higher annual levels of air pollution containing fine particulate matter (particles with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 μm [PM...
We analyzed 623 million person-years of Medicare data from 73 million persons 65 years of age or older from 2000 through 2016 to estimate associations between annual PM...
Lower PM...
Higher-income Black persons, low-income White persons, and low-income Black persons may benefit more from lower PM...
This study aimed to determine whether potential malpractice events reported by employees, malpractice events involving claims, and malpractice lawsuits differ based on patient race in a large 10-hospi...
Data in a healthcare system's malpractice database from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2017, were stratified by patient race using "Black," "White," and "other" categories. χ2 Goodness-of-fit tests were us...
There were significantly more employee-reported observations and claims for White patients and significantly fewer observations and claims for Black patients than expected based on the race proportion...
Our findings reveal the existence of race differences in potential malpractice events in a large healthcare system. By proactively investigating, understanding, and addressing racial disparities in pa...
Although sex- and race-based patterns have been described in the extracardiac organ involvement of sarcoidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis (CS)-specific studies are lacking....
We studied CS presentation, treatment and outcomes based on sex and race in a tertiary-center cohort. Multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards and survival analyses were performed for primary c...
We identified 252 patients with CS (108 female, 109 Black). At presentation with CS, females vs males (P = 0.001) and Black vs White individuals (P = 0.001) more commonly had symptomatic heart failure...
CS course may differ by sex and race and may contribute to distinct clinical CS phenotypes....
Racial and ethnic disparities have been suggested to be associated with poor outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While socioeconomic disadvantage has been studied, analyses of race as the pr...
A consecutive series of 1,641 primary TKAs from January 2015 to December 2021 at a tertiary health care system were reviewed. Patients were stratified according to race, Black (n = 1,003) and White (n...
The unadjusted analyses found that Black patients had an increased likelihood of 30-day emergency department visits and readmissions (P < .001). However, in the adjusted analyses, Black race was demon...
Black patients undergoing TKA may be at increased risk for complications with more risk factors including higher body mass index, tobacco use, substance abuse, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, c...
Breast cancer (BC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, and there is a substantial disparity in BC mortality by race, especially for early-onset BC in Black women. Many guidelines rec...
To provide race and ethnicity-adapted starting ages of BC screening based on data on current racial and ethnic disparities in BC mortality....
This nationwide population-based cross-sectional study was conducted using data on BC mortality in female patients in the US who died of BC in 2011 to 2020....
Proxy-reported race and ethnicity information was used. The risk-adapted starting age of BC screening by race and ethnicity was measured based on 10-year cumulative risk of BC-specific death. Age-spec...
Disease-specific mortality due to invasive BC in female patients....
There were BC-specific deaths among 415 277 female patients (1880 American Indian or Alaska Native [0.5%], 12 086 Asian or Pacific Islander [2.9%], 62 695 Black [15.1%], 28 747 Hispanic [6.9%], and 30...
This study provides evidence-based race-adapted starting ages for BC screening. These findings suggest that health policy makers may consider a risk-adapted approach to BC screening in which individua...
Extant research has established that low-wage workers of color are at higher risk for occupational exposures. While the medical sociology literature regarding contested illness provides insights into ...
Work-life interference has detrimental impacts on health outcomes. However, there are potential differences in these associations at the intersection of race/ethnicity and sex. The aim of this study w...
