Pediatric kidney transplant disparities.

Key takeaways

Researchers searched a large national record of 2022 hospital stays for children with kidney failure. They wanted to measure how much less often minority children get a transplant, and how their dialysis outcomes compare. This is a look back at billing records, so it shows a link between a child's background and their care, not proof of what causes the gap. The size of the gaps was not included in the abstract text received here.
