Im sure he’s googled this but EMT/ Sickle Cell test comes up with a lot.
I am unfamiliar with any reasoning behind the focus on sickle cell in an EMT test, but it is obvious some on this forum believe it is a racial issue created by the federal government. All we have is some anecdotal information as to questions on a test taken by one individual, or did I miss something? Blacks have much higher rates compared to whites. I have no idea as to the importance of testing during emergency calls by EMTs. Does anyone have some facts about this and/or the actual tests given EMTs. Using logistic regression, comorbidities and outcomes among sickle cell disease patients were compared between the three races/ethnicities. Results: Of the 74 817 hospitalized for sickle cell disease, 69 889 (93.4%) were Blacks, 3603 (4.8%) were Hispanics, and 1325 (1.8%) were Whites. |
