Race-neutral equations for interpreting lung function tests more accurately predicted risk of death and COPD flare ups compared to race-specific standards. Lung function tests have traditionally used ...

Removing race from equations that estimate lung function will shift the categorization of disease severity across patient populations, moving more Black individuals into an advanced disease category, ...

For decades, clinical algorithms that were used to diagnose disease have included race as a variable. Over the past several years, growing recognition that this may lead to diagnoses being entirely ...
