概括
从肺功能测试 (PFT) 中删除种族校正可能会改变非裔美国患者的肺癌手术建议. 这种变化可能会扩大手术护理现有的差异.
科学领域:
- 肺部医学 肺部医学
- 健康 公平 卫生 公平
- 手术瘤学手术瘤学
背景情况:
- 肺功能测试 (PFTs) 中的种族校正是有争议的,它将社会结构与生物学混为一谈,并假定非洲裔美国人的下肺功能.
- 从PFT中删除种族校正对非裔美国患者肺癌治疗决策的影响仍然未知.
研究的目的:
- 确定在进行肺癌手术的医院的PFT中种族校正的流行率.
- 评估非洲裔美国患者的种族校正和预测肺功能之间的关联.
- 评估消除种族纠正对外科医生的治疗建议的影响.
主要方法:
- 一项质量改进研究调查了医院关于PFT种族校正使用的情况.
- 对于接受肺癌切除的非裔美国患者,使用种族纠正和种族中性方程计算了手术前和后1秒内强迫呼气体积 (FEV1).
- 心胸外科医生被随机分配,接受不同PFT结果的临床简报 (对非裔美国人,其他/多种族或种族中立进行种族纠正).
主要成果:
- 16家医院中有15家 (93.8%) 在接受肺癌手术的非裔美国患者中使用了种族纠正.
- 使用种族中立方程将预测的术前FEV1降低9.2%,术后FEV1降低7.6%.
- 与接受种族中立结果的外科医生相比,呈现给非裔美国患者的种族校正PFT的外科医生更有可能推叶切除术.
结论:
- 在PFT中删除种族校正可能会影响外科医生对肺癌患者的治疗决定.
- 对于外科医生来说,意识到这些PFT变化至关重要,以避免潜在地加剧非洲裔美国患者手术护理的现有差异.

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
115
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
234
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
