Figure 1. Age- and sex-adjusted population-level incidence of PVI in Black and White Medicare beneficiaries from 2016–2018.

Figure 1.

Black adults have a higher incidence of PVI than White adults from 2016 to 2018. Black beneficiaries underwent 928 PVIs per 100,000 Black beneficiaries compared with 530 PVIs per 100,000 White beneficiaries over the three-year study period (risk ratio [RR] = 1.75 for Black versus White, 95% CI 1.73–1.77, p<0.01).
