Explaining the paradoxical age-based racial disparities in survival after trauma: The role of the treating facility.
This study sought to determine if differences in outcomes at treating facilities can help explain age-based racial disparities in survival after trauma. For example, among patients older than 65 years, blacks had decreased odds of mortality compared with whites. It found that facility-based differences do not seem to explain this paradoxical age-based racial disparity after trauma observed in the older population.

Utilization of lymph node dissection, race/ethnicity, and breast cancer outcomes.
This study reports on the impact of nodal surgery utilization on survival among white, African American, Hispanic, and Asian women in a large population of women with breast cancer. It found that the disparities in survival among African American and Hispanic women with breast cancer are not explained by nodal surgery utilization among women with micrometastasis and macrometastasis in sentinel lymph nodes.
