The study led by first author Wan Chi Chang, MS, showed that the new race-neutral equation led to 2.5–4-fold more Black children with asthma symptoms as having reduced lung function compared to ...

Adjustment for race is discouraged in lung-function testing, but the implications of adopting race-neutral equations have not been comprehensively quantified. We obtained longitudinal data from ...

T UESDAY, March 4, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Using a race-neutral equation identifies more than twice as many Black children ...

SAN DIEGO — Following use of race-neutral lung function equations, African American and Latino pediatric patients with asthma had reductions in FEV 1 and FVC while white patients with asthma had ...

Graphically, \(f(x) = x^2\) is the same as the graph of \(y = x^2\). Writing graphs as functions in the form of \(f(x)\) is useful when applying translations and reflections to graphs.

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an indicator of kidney function; in the clinic ... even for a similar GFR — to adjust for this, equations that estimate the GFR incorporate race as ...

There is now little doubt that both the MDRD and CKD-EPI kidney function equations have contributed to structural racism in medicine and public health. For 20 years, race, a social interpretation ...

Researchers have identified an approach to remove race from equations used to estimate a person's kidney function. These equations have been criticized for potentially perpetuating racial health ...

Benjamin J. Lee, MD (University of California, San Francisco) and his colleagues assessed the relative performance of 3 commonly used kidney function equations (termed Cockroft-Gault, MDRD ...
