Hospitalizations associated with disseminated coccidioidomycosis, Arizona and California, USA
Open accessAbstract
We analyzed hospitalization databases from Arizona and California for disseminated coccidioidomycosis-associated hospitalizations among immunocompetent persons. Racial/ethnic disease ratios were characterized by a higher incidence of hospitalization among blacks compared with other groups. This finding suggests that HIV infection, AIDS, and primary immune conditions are not a major factor in this disparity.

Black or African American individuals have the highest associated mortality, dissemination, and hospitalizations from coccidioidomycosis.
“with several reports alluding that black or African American individuals have the highest associated mortality, dissemination, and hospitalizations, with odds of disseminated disease as high as 5 to 10 times the rates seen among the white individuals [137,152–155]”

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.
