Revisiting Race Coefficients in Clinical Equations

We learn, painstakingly memorize, and use clinical equations every day to make crucial patient care decisions. But have you ever stopped to consider where those algorithms came from? Why do some of them include race, and is that appropriate based on the substantiating data? Let tl;dr start this thought-provoking discussion with you so that we can all strive for the very best patient care!
