Lee P, et al. - Researchers sought to quantify how minority status influence analgesia use for acute pain management in US Emergency Department (ED) settings. They performed a review of studies comparing racial and ethnic differences in the administration of analgesia for acute pain using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology. Of 763 screened articles, fourteen studies including 7070 non-Hispanic White patients, 1538 Hispanic, 3125 Black, met the inclusion criteria. As per findings, analgesia use for the management of acute pain in US EDs differed by race. Compared to white, black patients were less likely to receive analgesia for acute pain. In addition, analgesia was less frequently used in Hispanics.
