Abstract
(Obstet Gynecol. 2019;134:1155–1162) Racial disparities in perinatal outcomes have been extensively researched, but discrepancies in health care and health outcomes among black women and neonates still remain. One nonobstetric example of racial disparity in medical care is the inconsistency of narcotic pain medication administered to white patients and black patients who present with migraines or back pain in emergency departments. The current investigators conducted their study to assess whether obstetric care given at a tertiary academic medical center in North Carolina was inequitable between minority patients and white patients based on the frequency of pain assessment and how patients’ postcesarean pain was treated.
