Excess risk of 30-d heart failure (HF) readmission in Black compared with White patients hospitalized for acute HF according to quartiles of neighborhood deprivation. The figure plots the absolute risk differences between Black and White individuals (reference) in 30-day HF readmission by quartile of the Social Deprivation Index, and demonstrates a higher risk of readmission for Black patients with HF at every level of socioeconomic deprivation. Q2 indicates quartile 2; and Q3, quartile 3. From Patel et al.¹¹
