Abstract in brief

This study investigates whether there are racial and ethnic differences in the accuracy of pulse oximetry readings for COVID-19 patients and how these differences affect timely treatment decisions.
It involves analyzing clinical data from over 7,000 patients across various racial and ethnic backgrounds to determine the prevalence of "occult hypoxemia," where actual oxygen levels are lower than what pulse oximeters indicate.
The findings suggest significant delays in recognizing treatment eligibility for certain racial groups, highlighting disparities in healthcare access and potential biases in medical technology.
