Ethnic disparities in publicly-available pulse oximetry databases

Inaccuracies have been reported in pulse oximetry measurements taken from people who identified as Black. Here, we identify substantial ethnic disparities in the population numbers within 12 pulse oximetry databases, which may affect the testing of new oximetry devices and impact patient outcomes.
