Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards. www.nber.org/papers/w33289

Making kidney tests work for everyone

The United States has moved to deracialize kidney diagnostics. The move addresses major health-equity issues — but it also shines a light on a problematic clinical test.

Was a pre-med junior when a faculty member sent me a flyer about a new program called the Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics Had never heard of 'biostatistics' as a field; sounded like exactly what I wanted to do Was accepted into the program, ultimately led to a PhD in biostatistics

then later that day, you'll be asked to review 1 of these papers that was started 3 months ago & is now under review in a clinical journal. you'll spend 4 hrs writing up 5 fundamental flaws that make the paper unsalvageable. the journal will publish it as is anyway because it has AI/ML in the title.

Our work evaluating the removal of race adjustment from the eGFR equation at Stanford Health Care found no change in outcomes after 2 years arxiv.org/abs/2404.12812 (accepted @ CHIL 2024) Modifying the equation is likely insufficient for health equity as many social & structural inequities remain

Screen capture of image 2a from the linked arXiv paper showing observed and estimated quarterly rates (with shaded 95% CIs) of nephrology visits with CKD-EPI 2021 and race-adjusted eGFR from interrupted time series regression during study period for Black or African American patients. The lines are close together and the CIs are overlapping. The title and authors or the paper are added to the top of the figure: "Algorithmic Changes Are Not Enough: Evaluating the
Removal of Race Adjustment from the eGFR Equation" by M.M. Cusick, G.M. Chertow, D.K. Owens, M.Y. Williams & S. Rose.
