简介
Importance
Pulse oximetry guides triage and therapy decisions for COVID-19. Whether reported racial inaccuracies in oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry are present in patients with COVID-19 and associated with treatment decisions is unknown.
Objective
To determine whether there is differential inaccuracy of pulse oximetry by race or ethnicity among patients with COVID-19 and estimate the association of such inaccuracies with time to recognition of eligibility for oxygen threshold–specific COVID-19 therapies.
Design, Setting, and Participants
This retrospective cohort study of clinical data from 5 referral centers and community hospitals in the Johns Hopkins Health System included patients with COVID-19 who self-identified as Asian, Black, Hispanic, or White.
Exposures
Concurrent measurements (within 10 minutes) of oxygen saturation levels in arterial blood (SaO2) and by pulse oximetry (SpO2).
