Inaccuracies have been reported in pulse oximetry measurements taken from people who identified as Black. Here, we identify substantial ethnic disparities in the population numbers within 12 pulse oximetry databases, which may affect the testing of new oximetry devices and impact patient outcomes.
据报告,在自我认定为黑人的人群中进行的脉搏血氧饱和度测量存在不准确的情况。在此,我们确定了12个脉搏血氧饱和度数据库中的人口数量存在显著的种族差异,这可能会影响新型血氧测定设备的测试,并对患者的治疗结果产生影响。
