A Varying Patient Safety Profile Between Black and Nonblack Adults With Decreased Estimated GFR

Black veterans with decreased eGFR are more likely to experience a broad array of safety events than nonblacks with decreased eGFR, with a preponderance of metabolic disturbances rather than medication errors or AHRQ PSIs. The differential safety phenotype in blacks versus nonblacks may have implications for preventive strategies to improve patient safety in an integrated health care system.
