Excess 30-day heart failure readmissions and mortality in black patients increases with neighborhood deprivation.
Researchers examined whether neighborhood environment modifies the disparity in 30-day heart failure (HF) readmissions and mortality between Black and White patients in the Southeastern United States. They created a geocoded retrospective cohort of patients hospitalized for acute HF from 2010-2018 within Emory Healthcare. They found that excess 30-day HF readmissions and mortality were present among Black patients in every neighborhood strata and increased with progressive neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation.

Ethnic disparities in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease incidence and prevalence among rheumatoid arthritis patients in the United States: a systematic review.
In this systematic review, the authors sought to describe the incidence and prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) stratified by race/ethnicity within the US population of those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They found insufficient data on racially/ethnically diverse RA patients and ASCVD outcomes. They recommended that future studies report the prevalence of ASCVD in various races/ethnicities with RA in the United States, as these data would help inform clinicians on how best to manage cardiovascular disease risk in RA.
