Background While artificial intelligence (AI) offers possibilities of advanced clinical prediction and decision-making in healthcare, models trained on relatively homogeneous datasets, populations poorly-representative underlying diversity, limits generalisability risks biased AI-based decisions. Here, we describe the landscape AI medicine to delineate population data-source disparities. Methods We performed a scoping review papers published PubMed 2019 using techniques. assessed differences...
Aggregation of Asian Americans (AAs) with Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) masks significant health disparities. We evaluated overall survival (OS) surgery-to-radiation intervals (STRIs) among AA NHPI women early-stage breast cancer.
Southeast Asia has a population of over 680 million people—approximately half the India and twice United States—and is region marked by rich complex histories cultures, dynamic growth, unique evolving health challenges.1 Despite momentum economic development, inequalities persist. These inequities have been aggravated since COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed millions further into poverty, possibly exacerbating disparities, especially among populations who suffer vulnerabilities.
Abstract Since the start of COVID-19 pandemic, Asian Americans have been subjected to rising overt discrimination and violent hate crimes, highlighting health implications racism toward Americans. As are only group for whom cancer is leading cause death, these manifestations anti-Asian provoke question impact across continuum In this Commentary, we describe how myth “model minority” overlooks diversity Ignoring such in sociocultural trends, immigration patterns, socioeconomic status,...
Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death globally. There much uncertainty regarding comparative risks new-onset overall cancer and pre-specified for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients on sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT2I) versus DPP4I.This population-based cohort study included who were diagnosed with T2DM administered either SGLT2 or DPP4 between 1 January 2015 31 December 2020 in public hospitals Hong Kong.This 60,112 (mean baseline age: 62.1 ± 12.4 years,...
Abstract Health and politics are deeply intertwined. In the context of national global cancer care delivery, political forces—the determinants health—influence every level continuum. We explore “3-I” framework, which structures upstream forces that affect policy choices in actors' interests, ideas, institutions, to examine how health underlie disparities. Borrowing from work PA Hall, M-P Pomey, CJ Ho, other thinkers, interests agendas individuals groups power. Ideas represent beliefs or...
PURPOSE Hispanic and Latinx people in the United States are fastest-growing ethnic group. However, previous studies non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often analyze these diverse communities aggregate. We aimed to identify differences NSCLC stage at diagnosis US population, focusing on disaggregated Hispanic/Latinx individuals. METHODS Data from National Cancer Database 2004 2018 identified patients with primary NSCLC. Individuals were by racial subgroup country of origin. Ordinal logistic...
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be a risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The association between developing HCC and treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4i) is currently unknown. This study aimed to compare the new-onset in patients treated SGLT2i DPP4i. Methods: was retrospective cohort T2DM Hong Kong receiving either or DPP4i January 1, 2015, December 31, 2020. Patients concurrent use...
Racial disparities in cancer incidence and outcomes have been well documented 1,2 may be due part to lack of physician cultural competency.A diagnosis discussions prognosis treatments can widely different implications across contexts.Highlighting the importance high-quality care for diverse cultures, American Society Clinical Oncology recently outlined goals improving competency within its policy statement on disparities. 3,4However, nationally representative data among physicians is...
The etiology behind the increasing incidence of early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) are incompletely elucidated, but could be attributed in part to lifestyle factors. We assessed association between obesity and (CRC) younger versus older adults National Health Institute Survey. Multivariable logistic regression defined adjusted odds ratios (AORs) associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CRC including an age (< vs. ≥50 years) *BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) interaction term. Among 583,511 study...
PURPOSE: We identified (1) differences in localized prostate cancer (PCa) risk group at presentation and (2) disparities access to initial treatment for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI) men with PCa after controlling sociodemographic factors. METHODS: assessed all patients the National Cancer Database low-, intermediate-, high-risk disease who as Thai, White, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Islander, Laotian, Pakistani, Kampuchean, Hmong....
In 2020, breast and cervical cancer were the top 2 cancers among Filipino women in terms of incidence. Philippines, a lower-middle income country Southeast Asia with more than 50 million women, majority patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, as high out-of-pocket healthcare costs, centralization health human resources infrastructure capital, absence organized national screening programs preclude access to screening. Low literacy gendered sociocultural pressures compound these systemic...
