The Effects of High Income Countries on the Short-Term Risk of Death

In low income countries, the short-term risk of death associated with hospitalization was three to five-fold higher. Over a 22-year period, the black population in the U.S. had 1.6 million excess deaths compared with the white population,. This represented more than 80 million years of potential life lost over the study period. The third original research article by Dr. Carabella and colleagues is a serial cross-sectional study that examined mortality among non-Hispanic blacks from 1999 through 2020.
