Race and ethnicity were self-reported by the patient and documented in the electronic health record.
This group comprised African, African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian (including subcategories that were based on country of origin such as Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Pakistani, Taiwanese, Thai, and Vietnamese), Black, Caribbean Black, Native Hawaii/Pacific Islander, and Samoan. Those who did not provide race and ethnicity, responded with “other,” or identified 2 or more affiliations were also included. These categories were combined because of the small number of patients representing each category, which would preclude analyses.
Other included mixed team, nursing home, pediatric resident, pediatrics, and women’s health.
