Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip in pediatric patients can be managed conservatively or operatively. Understanding patient risk factors is important to optimize outcomes following surgical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Racial disparities in procedural outcomes have been studied, however, there is scarce literature on an association between race and complications following pediatric orthopaedic surgery. Our study aimed to determine the association between pediatric patients' race and outcomes following operative management of hip dysplasia by investigating 30-day postoperative complications and length of hospital stay.
Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric database was utilized from the years 2012 to 2019 to identify all pediatric patients undergoing surgical treatment for hip dysplasia. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: patients who were White and patients from underrepresented minority (URM) groups. URM groups included those who were Black or African American, Hispanic, Native American or Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Differences in patient demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes were compared between the 2 cohorts using bivariate and multivariate analyses.
Results: Of the 9159 pediatric patients who underwent surgical treatment for hip dysplasia between 2012 and 2019, 6057 patients (66.1%) were White and 3102 (33.9%) were from URM groups. In the bivariate analysis, compared with White patients, patients from URM groups were more likely to experience deep wound dehiscence, pneumonia, unplanned reintubation, cardiac arrest, and extended length of hospital stay. Following multivariate analysis, patients from URM groups had an increased risk of unplanned reintubation (odds ratio: 3.583; P=0.018).
Conclusions: Understanding which patient factors impact surgical outcomes allows health care teams to be more aware of at-risk patient groups. Our study found that pediatric patients from URM groups who underwent surgery for correction of hip dysplasia had greater odds of unplanned reintubation when compared with patients who were White. Further research should investigate the relationship between multiple variables including race, low socioeconomic status, and language barriers on surgical outcomes following pediatric orthopaedic procedures.

Long-term studies are critical for ecological understanding, but they are underutilized as inclusive opportunities for training ecologists. We use our perspective from the Año Nuevo elephant seal programme along with surveys from community members to propose that long-term studies could be better leveraged to promote inclusive education and professional development in ecology. Drawing on our experiences as mentors and mentees, we demonstrate how long-term studies can use their resources, including rich data, robust logistics and extensive professional networks, to improve recruitment and retention of diverse groups of trainees.

Background: In the United States, racial and ethnic disparities in substance use treatment outcomes are persistent, especially among underrepresented minority (URM) populations. Technology-based interventions (TBIs) for substance use treatment show promise in reducing barriers to evidence-based treatment, yet no studies have described how TBIs may impact racial or ethnic health equity.
Objective: This study explored whether TBIs in substance use treatment research promote health equity among people who identify as African American or Black, Hispanic or Latino, and American Indian or Alaska Native through their inclusion in research.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed demographic data from academic radiology faculty to evaluate rank equity by gender and race/ethnicity from 2000 to 2023.
- It found that the percentage of women faculty increased but disparities remained, particularly for underrepresented minorities (URM) and Asian women, in terms of rank equity.
- The study concluded that while progress was made for women, significant barriers still exist for URM and Asian faculty, necessitating targeted efforts to promote diversity within the field.
Do Performance Goals and Fixed Mindset Explicate the Relations Between Stereotype Threat and Achievement? Examining Differences Between Racially Marginalized and White Students in STEM.

This study examined whether performance goal orientations and mindset beliefs explicate the negative relation of ethnic stereotype threat with achievement and whether these processes vary depending on students' membership in a historically minoritized group. Multigroup analyses of undergraduate chemistry students ( = 1,376) indicated that perceived ethnic stereotype threat was associated with lower achievement regardless of whether students were from underrepresented minority groups (URM). For URM students, compared to White students, ethnic stereotype threat more strongly predicted performance-avoidance goals.
