Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzes racial disparities in pediatric postoperative mortality rates in the U.S. from 2000 to 2019, uncovering significant excess deaths among Black and Hispanic children compared to white children.
- - Black children experienced 4,700 excess deaths, while Hispanic children faced 5,500, totaling 10,200 additional deaths (around 536 per year), particularly in nonteaching hospitals.
- - The research suggests that targeted policy changes could reduce these disparities, projecting that a 2.5% annual reduction in mortality could save around 1,100 Black children's lives over the next decade.
