Purpose: Race-based correction is widely utilized in clinical practice, but may contribute to overestimation of lung function, underdiagnoses in minority groups, and exclusion of minority groups from research trials. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the usage of race-based correction in pulmonary function testing (PFT) within chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) research and its impact on the exclusion of minority groups from research trials.
Methods: We systematically searched Medline from 2010 to 2022 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine inhaler therapy for COPD.

RiSE study aims to evaluate a race-based stress-reduction intervention as an effective strategy to improve coping and decrease stress-related symptoms, inflammatory burden, and modify DNA methylation of stress response-related genes in older AA women. This article will describe genomic analytic methods to be utilized in this longitudinal, randomized clinical trial of older adult AA women in Chicago and NYC that examines the effect of the RiSE intervention on DNAm pre- and post-intervention, and its overall influence on inflammatory burden. Salivary DNAm will be measured at baseline and 6 months following the intervention, using the Oragene-DNA kit.

Importance: There is increasing concern that continued use of a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equation adjusted for a single racial group could exacerbate chronic kidney disease-related disparities and inequalities.
Objective: To assess the performance of GFR estimating equations across varied patient populations.

Background: Scientifically, there is little genetic variation among humans and race has no biological basis. However, medical school preclinical curricula tend to misrepresent race and reify biologically essentialist explanations for disease. The social construct of race is, therefore, used to inform health care providers' treatment decisions.
