Disparities in Hypoxemia Detection by Pulse Oximetry Across Self-Identified Racial Groups and Associations With Clinical Outcomes*

Nicole R. Henry et al.

Summary: This study aims to assess disparities in hypoxemia detection using pulse oximetry among self-identified racial groups and its associations with clinical outcomes. The study found that black patients were more likely to experience occult hypoxemia compared to white patients and that occult hypoxemia was associated with increased mortality.

The effect of patient ethnicity on the accuracy of peripheral pulse oximetry in patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis: a single-centre, retrospective analysis

M. D. Wiles et al.

Summary: Ethnicity did not significantly impact the accuracy of peripheral pulse oximetry in critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis. The level of agreement between SpO2 measurements and SaO2 values in these patients was consistent with previous findings, and was not influenced by patient ethnicity.

Garrett W. Burnett et al.

Summary: This study found that self-reported Black and Hispanic race/ethnicity are associated with a higher prevalence of intraoperative occult hypoxemia in the Spo(2) range of 92 to 100% when compared with self-reported White race/ethnicity.

Summary: In patients with respiratory failure about to undergo ECMO, Black patients have a higher prevalence of occult hypoxemia compared to White patients, while the prevalence of Hispanic and Asian patients is comparable to that of White patients.

Racial and Ethnic Discrepancy in Pulse Oximetry and Delayed Identification of Treatment Eligibility Among Patients With COVID-19

Ashraf Fawzy et al.

Summary: This study found that there were racial inaccuracies in pulse oximetry measurements in patients with COVID-19, with increased occult hypoxemia in Asian, Black, and non-Black Hispanic patients. These inaccuracies were associated with delayed or unrecognized eligibility for COVID-19 therapies among Black and Hispanic patients.

Racial bias and reproducibility in pulse oximetry among medical and surgical inpatients in general care in the Veterans Health Administration 2013-19: multicenter, retrospective cohort study

Valeria S. M. Valbuena et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate measurement discrepancies between pulse oximetry and arterial oxygen saturation among inpatients in general care settings. The results showed that black patients were more likely to have occult hypoxemia noted on arterial blood gas but not detected by pulse oximetry compared to white patients.

Assessment of Racial and Ethnic Differences in Oxygen Supplementation Among Patients in the Intensive Care Unit

Eric Raphael Gottlieb et al.

Summary: In this cohort study, Asian, Black, and Hispanic patients received less supplemental oxygen than White patients, and this was associated with differences in pulse oximeter performance, which may contribute to known race and ethnicity-based disparities in care.

Impact of ethnicity on the accuracy of measurements of oxygen saturations: A retrospective observational cohort study

Mansoor N. Bangash et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess whether the accuracy of oxygen saturation measured by SpO(2) varies by ethnicity compared to arterial blood gas (SaO(2)). The study analyzed data from 16,818 paired measurements taken within a 20-minute interval, and found that SpO(2) readings were generally higher than SaO(2), with the magnitude of difference varying depending on the SaO(2) level and ethnicity. Specifically, there was a significant overestimation of SpO(2) in Black patients. This could lead to misclassification of hypoxia in Black patients when using SpO(2) as an indicator of oxygenation.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Excess Deaths During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March to December 2020

Meredith S. Shiels et al.

Summary: In 2020, there were significant racial/ethnic disparities in excess deaths in the United States, with Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Latino individuals experiencing a disproportionate impact even beyond COVID-19. The excess deaths in 2020 resulted in a substantial widening of racial/ethnic disparities in all-cause mortality from 2019 to 2020.

Maureen R. Benjamins et al.

Summary: This study investigates mortality rates and racial inequities in the largest US cities, using data from over 26 million death records. While overall mortality rates improved in less than half of the cities over the past decade, racial inequities worsened in more cities than those where they improved.
