Importantly, there were no clinically meaningful skin pigmentation-related discrepancies and no occult hypoxemic events among Black or Hispanic patients, and in only one Caucasian patient overall. The Neonatal Pulse Oximetry Accuracy and Disparities by Skin Pigmentation (NeoPODS) study findings were presented from the podium at the Pediatric Academic Society in Boston, MA on Monday, April 27th at 10 am EST by lead author Dr. Heather Siefkes on behalf of colleagues at the University of California, Davis and the University of Mississippi, Jackson, alongside online publication in the Journal of Pediatrics. As the authors noted, “[W]e found no evidence of clinically meaningful skin tone-related discrepancies, suggesting equitable monitoring performance for this device in this clinical setting.”[1]
