US EditionWhat is 'Bed Rotting' And Why Are Black and White Doctors On TikTok So Divided About It?
- A new analysis challenges the 2020 study claiming Black newborns have a higher survival rate with Black doctors, suggesting the findings were based on cherry-picked data and omitted key factors like very low birth weight.
- The reexamination found that once very low birth weight was controlled for, the effect of physician-patient racial concordance was often statistically insignificant, as reported in Proceedings from the National Academy of Science.
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson previously cited the disputed 2020 study in a dissent, claiming that Black newborns are more likely to survive with Black physicians, a statement now questioned by new findings.
- The new study concludes that addressing very low birth weights may be more effective in reducing mortality disparities than focusing on the race of physicians.
