“…Care differences may also be attributed to variable baseline comorbidities, treatment variation by geographic region or hospital type, or presenting characteristics making a patient a nonideal candidate for interventional therapy. [9][10][11]15,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] However, in this study, disparities persist even after adjusting for these variables.…”

“…8,9 In particular, race and sex have previously been associated with discrepant management of NSTEMI, as black patients and women were less likely to receive novel, more costly therapies or undergo invasive procedures. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Given the disparities in health care delivery, over recent years there have been national and global efforts to rectify such inequalities 10,16 ; however, the success of such efforts is still unknown. This has led to an Institute of Medicine report that ranked health care delivery and racial and ethnic disparities to be its top 2 recommended research priorities, underscoring the need to fully characterize and understand these problems facing the health care system.…”

“…Doenças infecciosas graves como tuberculose e AIDS (SIDA) têm na sua instalação e manutenção, a participação do fator "miserite" carencial, afetando seu sistema imunoló-gico, bem como falhas constantes na distribuição oficial gratuita de medicamentos aos portadores crônicos. Além dos diversos fatores clínicos e econômicos desfavoráveis, há diferenças "étnicas" no atendimento ao paciente crônico devido a fatores socioculturais e à má qualidade do atendimento mé-dico dispensado, privado e, sobretudo, oficial 12,13 . Nem todos os obstáculos são a priori contornáveis, mas a ética e atitude de bom senso podem contribuir para minimizar os vieses raciais inconscientes e reduzir as disparidades do atendimento médico Finalmente, urge um programa educativo de melhoria no atendimento de urgência médica ao negro, ao mestiço e outras minorias que sejam portadoras de doenças degenerativas e infecciosas, ou então, no atendimento anestesiológico-cirúrgico 3 .…”

“…Fatores sócio-econômicos desfavoráveis estão diretamente relacionados com condições de saúde precárias como maior incidência de recém-nascidos de baixo peso da mãe negra. Alinha de pobreza não somente justificaria a maior incidência de doenças e má qualidade de vida do negro, mas também a maior demora no atendimento médico de urgência às vítimas negras do infarto agudo do miocárdio e de derrame cerebral 13 . Deveria ser prioridade dos programas governamentais superar as diferenças nos cuidados à saúde do negro e do mestiço que têm ancestrais europeus e indíge-nas através de Medicina preventiva e curativa; habitação digna; educação adequada; trabalho honrado e melhoria social.…”

“…Even after controlling for variations in insurance status and income, African Americans, relative to Whites and in some cases Hispanics, are less likely to receive appropriate cardiac medication (Canto et al, 2000;Ramsey, Goff, Wear, Labarthe, & Nichaman, 1997) or to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (Petersen, Wright, Peterson, & Daley, 2002) and are more likely to have delayed followup for ongoing care (Edelman, Gao, & Mosca, 2008). The Institute of Medicine (Smedley et al, 2003) found that White patients were nearly four times more likely than African American patients to receive cardiac bypass surgery, which helps to explain the greater mortality among African American patients (Peterson et al, 1997).…”
