The social discussions reveal a broad consensus on the importance of reevaluating race-based adjustments in medical algorithms, with examples like references to NEJM articles, calls for removing race correction to reduce health disparities, and mentions of institutional efforts. The tone is serious and urgent, emphasizing the potential harms and the need for systemic change, which underscores the high impact and engagement from diverse healthcare and academic professionals.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions strongly support reexamining and eliminating race corrections in clinical algorithms, evidenced by affirming comments like 'Hugely important paper' and 'Thoroughly recommend this great piece.'
InterestHigh interest
Participants show high engagement with the topic, referencing specific articles, sessions, and advocating for change, indicating strong interest.
EngagementHigh engagement
Many comments discuss detailed implications, such as potential harms, case examples, and calls for institutional actions, reflecting deep engagement.
ImpactHigh impact
The discussions suggest the publication has a significant influence, prompting policy considerations, educational reforms, and professional consensus on health equity.
Abstract in brief
The text discusses the practice of using race correction in clinical algorithms, which are tools used by healthcare providers to assess and make decisions about patient care.
It critically examines how race-based adjustments can contribute to disparities in healthcare outcomes and may reinforce racial biases rather than improve accuracy.
The authors suggest that reconsidering or removing race correction from these algorithms could promote more equitable and precise medical treatment for all patients.]
Race is a blunt proxy for genetic ancestry and, as the authors of this paper argue, "embedding race into the basic data and decisions of health care... [has the] potential to perpetuate or even amplify race-based health inequities." https://t.co/ARLKuIhzWA

A very informative article on use of race in clinical algorithms. When does it help/make matters worse? Is it justified and if so, when?

I was shocked to learn my first semester of my PhD that many Black Americans are on average admixed with 25-30% European DNA.
This is why I was especially shocked to recently learn about race-based medical algorithms... https://t.co/6GPy83dik1

Today, in maddening high impact causal inference fails, a thoughtful article in the NJEM: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2004740 "Complex *causal* interactions". Prediction is not enough.
also adding this article in NEJM for more context about the (mis)use of race in medicine.
