OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of traumatic injury among five racial/ethnic groups in Arizona and to identify which mechanisms and intents of traumatic injury were predominant in each group.
Algorithmic estimations of dementia status are widely used in public health and epidemiologic research, but inadequate algorithm performance across racial/ethnic groups has been a barrier. We present improvements in the accuracy of group-specific "pr...
Tools like Snipper or the Admixture Model count as state-of-the-art methods in forensic science for biogeographical ancestry. However, they have not been systematically compared to classifiers widely used in other disciplines. Noting that genetic dat...

Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) populations are often aggregated into broad racial categories, obscuring potential disparities. This study leverages an expanded race/ethnicity lexicon and natural language processing (NLP) to identify docu...
To explore the capabilities of race/ethnicity and gender prediction algorithms in uncovering patterns of authorship distribution in scientific paper submissions to a major peer-reviewed scientific journal (), we analyzed 17 667 manuscript submissions...
Many countries around the world do not collect race and ethnicity data in clinical settings. Without such identified data, it is difficult to identify biases in the training data or output of a given artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, and to wor...

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop machine learning models that provide both accurate and equitable predictions of 2-year stroke risk for patients with atrial fibrillation across diverse racial groups.
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation is a complex process requiring extensive preparation and ongoing monitoring. Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots hold potential for providing accessible health information, but our understanding of their r...
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic performance of CT for pancreatic cancer is interpreter-dependent, and approximately 40% of tumours smaller than 2 cm evade detection. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promise in image analysis, but the networ...
