Blacks in the coronary artery surgery study (CASS): race and clinical decision making.
Abstract
For patients enrolled in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS), surgery was recommended for 46.5 per cent of Blacks and 59.4 per cent of Whites, despite similar clinical and angiographic characteristics. Of those recommended, 80.5 per cent of Blacks and 90.4 per cent of Whites had bypass surgery. These differences were most apparent for Black laborers. Overall, only 38.0 per cent of Blacks had coronary artery bypass surgery, whereas 58.4 per cent of Whites received surgery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
